Welcome to the first Dunstan News for 2018. We don't email often so that when we do, you get the full update and we've certainly kicked the year off with a bang.
You'll find below an update on the Adelaide Zero Project and our efforts to end street homelessness.
We hope to see you at
AdMental, returning again this year, where Adelaide's leading ad agencies battle it out Gruen style to figure out how you sell mental wellbeing.
We've also booked in our second Dunstan Film Club where for every ticket we sell, we'll pay it forward and give a ticket to someone from a disadvantaged background. We're screening
Black Panther with Reconciliation SA.
We've also included an update on some great reads and what else is going on around town.
As always we value your feedback on what we are doing so please get in touch!
Cheers,
David Pearson
Executive Director
Don Dunstan Foundation

ADELAIDE ZERO PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION PLAN LAUNCHED
Election campaigns are usually times when political parties talk about their differences. This campaign we managed to get all the candidates for the state electorate of Adelaide, as well as representatives of their parties, to come together to express their support for the Adelaide Zero Project. At this event we launched the Implementation Plan for our goal to functionally end rough sleeping in the inner city within two years.
The Adelaide Zero Project has been a collaborative effort since its inception and the development and delivery of this Implementation Plan continued this effort.
We'd like to acknowledge the unified and dedicated efforts of all the
partners
in this project.
You can find a copy of the Plan, the fact sheet summary and the press release HERE.
We hope you will consider getting involved.
