News
Hello SOFT Community!
Just wanted to say g’day and to let you know that we are excited to see everyone at Conference.
Brad and Tracey, have been working hard for some time now, to update SOFT governance and to register it as a charity… we have come to the stage now where we need to call on our community for their input…
- We need to establish a governance board and are seeking expressions of interest for members and directors. (Eg chair, secretary, treasurer, voting members)
- Your child’s story and high resolution photos. Please share about your family’s journey with your child. This will be for the website and promotional materials we are developing to gain sponsorship and donations.
Please share all of these with Brad and Tracey via the SOFT Australia email address.
