Cerini Centre – Affordable Social Housing

Tanya Steele has written an article about the Cerini Walk and its purpose. You can read her article on the Upper Yarra Star Mail website by following this link.

The Cerini Walk was successful as over a hundred people walked from Millgrove to the Cerini Centre in Warburton. But the true measure of the success of this walk will be a change in hearts, a change in attitude and the start of a movement to address homelessness.
