Earlier this month, we were sorry to say goodbye to our colleague Subhadra Mistry

Subhadra is soon to take up an incredibly exciting opportunity at Bunjil Place in the City of Casey, driving a new arts and cultural strategy following the delivery of its $125 million infrastructure investment.

Also soon to take up an exciting new opportunity, Dr Squirrel Main will be joining the Paul Ramsay Foundation in a similar evaluation role to the one she established atThe Ian Potter Foundation.

Both Squirrel and Subhadra will be missed by everyone at the Foundation but we wish them both well as they embark on the next stage of their professional lives.

The staff at the Foundation got behind the recent #hoodies4homelessness awareness-raising campaign initiated by HoMie and Whitelion

The campaign encouraged the public to buy a hoodie and wear it onApril 20WorldYouth HomelessnessAwareness

Day The goal was to see 28,000 Australians wearing a hoodie reflecting the number of young people experiencing homelessness on any given night in our country. Interest in the campaign was so high on 19April that the registration site unfortunately crashed.

During the campaign, HoMie sold over 2200 hoodies which exceeded expectations.All profits will support young people affected by homelessness or hardship by equipping them with the skills, confidence, and experiences to be more work-ready and better prepared for their future.

We produce this quarterly e-newsletter to keep our friends and associates up to date with all the news and recent grants made by The Ian Potter Foundation.
