On Friday night, the Port Macquarie community gathered for a moving Reclaim the Night event, uniting more than 200 people to take a stand against domestic and family violence. Under a stunning sunset over the river and mountains, we marched in solidarity, advocating for everyone’s right to feel safe, day or night. Powerful speeches by Aunty Rhonda Anjilkurri Radley, Brooke Maggs (Liberty Domestic & Family Violence Specialist Services), MNCLHD Acting Chief Executive Jill Wong, Deb Tougher (YP SPACE MNC) and MNC LAC Crime Prevention Officer Tim Preston highlighted the urgent need to address violence in our community, and we were proud to raise funds for YP Space, an organisation supporting youth homelessness. A heartfelt thank you to all who organised this fantastic event and those who joined this important cause. Together, we’re creating change. 💜
