Transcript
00:00My name is Michelle Fraser. I'm the manager of the Wollongong West Street Centre, which is the
00:06Child Sexual Assault Counselling Service. It's a community-based, not-for-profit service. We're a
00:11small service and independent, and we work with the community to help people who experience the
00:19effects of, you know, this is women, children, young people, the effects of child sexual assault
00:26over their lifetime. We got the funding late last year, and we're going to be getting a lovely new
00:35kitchen built in July this year. It's really good for us because we get government funding to actually
00:42implement our counselling activities and our social support groups, but we have a building here that
00:52we need to upgrade and update, and a kitchen is a really, you know, important part of a community.
00:58It kind of, it represents connection and culture, and so for us to be able to upgrade our very old
01:06dilapidated kitchen with various appliances that don't really work anymore is really,
01:12it's great for us, and it's great for our community.
