Charity - Small Steps 4 Hannah
Each year the AIPIO Board select a charity which they feel provide important and invaluable assistance to the community.
In 2024, AIPIO have chosen to support Small Steps 4 Hannah Foundation throughout the Conference, and in particularly via a Silent Auction at the Conference Dinner.
The murder of Hannah Clarke and her children was a ‘line in the sand’ moment in Australia; a moment when our community came together and said that ‘where domestic and family violence is concerned, enough is enough!’.
Of course, for Lloyd, Sue and Nat Clarke it was much more than that. On that fateful day in February 2020, the Clarke family lost four beautiful souls in the worst of circumstances.
In their quest to honour Hannah, Aaliyah, Laianah and Trey and ensure that no family should endure this pain again, the Clarke family have started a movement for change – Small Steps 4 Hannah – to put a HALT to the incidences and severity of domestic and family violence in Australia.
Through Small Steps 4 Hannah it is the hope of the Clarke family to harness the collective desire of us all to make positive changes required to HALT domestic and family violence and take the steps required to do it; small steps that will eventually be giant leaps forward.
