We started The Home Stretch 7yrs ago with Zeros from all States on care to 21. We changed the minds of all 8 of them, and now we are a country that supports all young people in care to 21yrs. Thank You to everyone who got behind our campaign! Enjoy this! youtu.be/hJMly6D9BCQ

Thanks so much to Deborah Knight and 2GB Sydney for recognising what a difference it makes for young people in foster care to get support through to the age of 21. The announcement by The Hon. Natasha Maclaren-Jones MLC on Sunday to extend care means the world to so many young people in NSW.
