love about our vision is that in a nutshell it provides our goals, purpose and
what we need to focus on for the future.

2. SSWM Support for Bushfires
There have been some big news items around the world already for 2020 including the devastating bushfires. We have asked and discussed the question how do SSWM help right now and what is the most effective way that we can make a difference? Please read our blog post ‘SSWM Support for Bushfires’ for further information about how we are using our ‘BUSH FIRE MESH- ember stop’ to make a difference.
