ABC Heywire Tamar Valley

Heywire Tamar Valley is an exciting storytelling and leadership program run by the ABC. We’ve worked with over 10 local schools across the local government areas of Launceston, George Town and West Tamar. The voices of hundreds of young people have been heard, and we’re supporting them as they share what’s important.
