Jan Webster and Sue Peterson Sub-Fund
Established in 2019, the Jan Webster & Sue Peterson Sub-Fund was created by Sue Peterson and her late partner, Jan Webster. Throughout their long and loving relationship, social justice was a constant motivator; their shared experiences deepened their passion for giving back and putting in the hard yards for equality. This fund continues their commitment to those values by creating pathways for women navigating systemic disadvantage, including supporting women exiting the justice system, providing educational and leadership opportunities for Aboriginal women, and creating pathways for women out of homelessness.
