Recently the NSW South Coast Bravehearts child protection charity was honoured with a civic reception by the Shoalhaven City Council.
The reception was held in recognition of Bravehearts' continued efforts of bringing awareness and education to this community.
An important announcement was made at the reception.
Some 25 years ago the work of Bravehearts commenced in Queensland under the guidance of founder Hetty Johnston.
Bravehearts is now recognised as a leading advocate of child protection in Australia.
In 2007 an education team was established in NSW to support their valuable work and its role will be expanded.
South Coast Bravehearts chairperson Wendy Woodward said the group had exciting plans.
"In 2022, after raising funds to support this programme, we are excited to announce that within a very short time this region will have its own dedicated education team based here in the Shoalhaven, that will have the ability to work from Wollongong south to the border," Mrs Woodward said.
"The "Ditto Keep Safe Adventure" interactive show designed for the age groups from three to eight-years old will be available to visit your day-care, preschool or Stage One section of schools.
"We are currently interviewing for positions, and then this show will be 'on the road'."
