Today I received the photo gallery from the fifth birthday celebrations held at Newcastle City Hall for the Ian and Shirley Norman foundation. It was a fabulous evening and an opportunity to meet so many people doing good in the world. We need more good people like the I&SNF folk and their partners. HealthStays representatives were honoured to be invited.

What a pleasure to be a guest on community radio 2CHR this morning to talk about the HealthStays project to provide accommodation for those who come from away for health treatment at Maitland Hospital and the other private providers nearby.
I was also able to explain the partnership between HealthStays and Music in the Regions who have organised the Ancient Letters concert in Maitland Town Hall at 5 pm on Sunday 25 October. Ticket sales will provide financial support to the HealthStays project. Bookings on Humanitix.com

Composer Elena Kats-Chernin AO and pianist Tamara-Anna Cislowska play Maitland Town Hall on Sunday 25 October at 5pm, the final stop of their regional NSW tour.

Their album Ancient Letters, released on ABC Classic, has just been nominated for Best Classical Album at the 2026 ARIA Awards.

The concert is a Combined Rotary Clubs of Maitland fundraiser for HealthStays.

HealthStays is building accommodation at Metford, minutes from Maitland Hospital, for patients travelling in for treatment and the families and carers who come with them. Thousands of people admitted to Maitland Hospital each year live more than 100 kilometres away, and many have to find somewhere to stay while already dealing with the stress of treatment.

🎟️ Tickets are $35, and under 18s go free.
