Heidi Anderson: How you can help change the story

As part of the #changethestory campaign, Heidi Anderson from PerthNow was approached by Save the Children WA to “change the story” and shine a light on Armadale in a positive way.

The aim was to find positive stories of kids from that area that show their resilience and their contribution and promote those to combat the negative publicity young people from the area received.

The full story can be found here.
