ROAM* Women Tours is pleased to support the Sunday Community Support Group, a group of women supporting vulnerable people experiencing homelessness and hardship, helping turn lives from survival to hope.

You can show your support by joining them for the award-winning short film, Frances, by Australian director Sharon Lewis, followed by a panel discussion on women’s homelessness.

The Community Film Night, presented by SCSG, on Thursday, 30 October, will raise awareness of the rapid increase in homelessness, especially among women over 55, and to raise much-needed funds for our support work.

Frances is a short film by Lewis and Eye Candy Film Productions.

It tells the story of a woman who, after a divorce, must live in her car with her dog, highlighting the hidden realities of housing insecurity and homelessness in Australia.

The film has received critical acclaim and awards in London, New York, and Canada.

After the screening, there will be an audience Q&A as well as a panel discussion with Lewis and fellow special guests, local businesswoman Kerry Fahey and Member for South Coast Liza Butler.

They will discuss homelessness in the community and how to turn lives from survival to hope.

The Community Film Night will be held at the Rural Fire Service Station in Foxground from 6-8pm and a light supper, including a glass of sparkling wine or a non-alcoholic drink, will be provided.
