Today is National Sorry Day. Held each year on 26 May, National Sorry Day remembers and acknowledges the mistreatment of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who were forcibly removed from their families and communities, which we now know as ‘The Stolen Generations’.

National Sorry Day is a day to acknowledge the strength of Stolen Generations Survivors and reflect on how we can all play a part in the healing process for our people and nation.

Our friends from Helping ACT are preparing a special Feel Good Feed lunch today in honour of National Sorry Day. All guests are invited to attend.
