Hello friends and supporters of A Fairer World,

Following our recent Annual General Meeting, I’m excited and honoured to introduce myself as President.

The committee and I are extremely thankful for the hard work and commitment of Suzanne Schulz, who stepped down as President at our recent AGM after two years in the role. We’re grateful that Suze will stay with AFW and continue to contribute her experience. Thank you, Suze!

The 2026 committee joining me in steering AFW to continued success are Suzanne Schulz (Vice President), Meahd Farnaby (Vice President), Herman Yap (Treasurer), Emma Dickson (Secretary), and Sarah Standen, and we warmly welcome two new committee members, Trenton Hoare and Chris Barrell.

Together, they bring accounting, legal, HR, governance, communications, marketing and community leadership experience. It’s an outstanding group who I know will bring energy, expertise and care.

And, we’re getting straight to work with a fundraising campaign!

Running a charity like ours isn’t without cost. The support of our members is crucial to ensure the basics can be met, from stationery to keeping the lights on.

But, we want to be more, and do more.

There’s never been a more important time for our work, and more need for our programs that promote inclusion, understanding, respect and empathy.

And there’s no doubt that A Fairer World has impact, through powerful lived-experience storytelling that changes minds and changes lives.

That’s why we’re launching our “zero discrimination” fundraising drive, aiming to raise $20,000 by Harmony Day, 21 March 2026.

Can you help us reach our target? Every dollar counts!

Look out for our social media posts, share with your friends and networks, and please donate if you can.

I look forward to working with our committee to support our incredible staff team, and towards the continued strength, great work and growth of this remarkable and unique organisation.

Kindly,
Samantha
