  1. Could you please forward onto Mr Andrew Forrest. I am a social worker who would be interested in speaking with Mr Forrest in regards to supporting a project in building a therapeutic holiday home for parents and children who have been involved with child protection and have had disrupted attachments. This project would provide a space for children to experience a positive connection with their parent in a safe environment. I do not think this forum is the most appropriate to explain my proposal in full. I am also aware that Mr Forrest might be asked to provide support for many projects however I do believe this would be the first in Australia and would benefit many vulnerable children and their families making it an innovative social investment. Kind Regards from a social worker with a dream to make a difference. Dianne Yoong. If you cannot forward on can you provide me with any information I could contact Mr Forrest such as email or address. Again hoping you are able to assist with process.
