SisterWorks

Enver ERDOGAN (Northern Metropolitan – Minister for Corrections, Minister for Youth Justice, Minister for Victim Support) (10:13): I recently had the pleasure of officially opening the upgraded commercial kitchen at Crafted Culture cafe in Richmond, operated by SisterWorks Inc, a fantastic organisation that provides food-handling and hospitality training to women in Victoria from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds. To commemorate this occasion I had the honour of completing a beautiful mural inside the cafe.

The new kitchen will allow SisterWorks to increase their capacity to supply catering and food production as well as providing more training opportunities for migrant and refugee women to gain vital work experience. Crafted Culture cafe received $20,000 from the Victorian government as part of our Living Local initiative to support this upgrade. The initiative is focused on funding projects that promote social connections, enhance livability and revitalise suburban hubs. Congratulations again to everyone at SisterWorks who worked so hard to deliver this project. A special thanks to the hardworking team ably led by CEO Ifrin Fittock.
