--Living Wage for Families Exhibition –and Forum.

As you know, as part of the Listening Circles project, families took part in working with a community artist and photographer in conceptualizing an Exhibition (September 13 in the evening) to share their experiences and stories. Attending to these events will be a gesture to support the parents that took part in the project and to spread the word on the significance of this Campaign in ‘making the city a liveable place for families.’

Please consider attending the Forum (September 14 day time) and let all your networks know about this events.
