In her day job as Community Service Co-ordinator at Melbourne’s Lauriston Girls School, Sarah Jessup was introduced to Jane Tewson and went on to learn about the organisations Igniting Change supports.

When Covid 19 hit, and parents from her school wanted to support those doing it tough, Sarah knew just where to turn. Every fortnight, she and a group of Lauriston volunteers have collected bags of essentials and delivered them right across Melbourne since the first lockdown began.

As the situation has escalated, Sarah and the team have switched to collecting grocery gift cards to distribute, in a bid to ensure no-one goes hungry. It’s an inspiring tale of the teacher who thought she could…..and did.
