Shine a Light Winner Announced!
The Forrest Centre’s CEO, Evan Robertson said “As an aged care provider, we have the privilege of working with older people every day and we know that ageing brings meaning to life and that older people are an incredibly important part of our community”.
“We also know that all too often older people are overlooked and made to feel invisible, and we thought it was high time we help remove this cultural blind spot, and what better way than to do that putting older people front and centre in photos”.
