Tonight we have a pleasure of hearing from Natasha Liddell. Natasha is a development manager for the Women's Property Initiative (WPI). The WPI provides long-term housing solutions to change women’s futures for the better and breaks the intergenerational cycle of poverty. They give women the opportunity to live with dignity and become involved in their communities by providing affordable housing. Natasha will be joined by WPI CEO Jeanette Large.

The WPI have just built four two-bedroom homes in Beaconsfield. These homes will provide an opportunity for women over 55 with modest savings (but not enough to buy a home of their own), to escape the private rental market and invest in secure and affordable housing. Older women are experiencing housing stress at record levels and this program can prevent women from reaching this point. 

These four properties are new builds therefore they are in need of landscaping. Tonight Rotarian Jen Marshall will be asking you to roll your sleeves up and get your hands dirty in October to help this amazing organisation complete this project by helping with the soft landscaping including planting and spreading mulch.
