Change for Sam, the organisation formed in the wake of Samantha Fraser’s death in 2018, hosted a Candlelight Vigil on Wednesday May 3, at the Jetty Triangle in Cowes. The event was organised in conjunction with Bass Coast Shire Council and Gippsland Women’s Health.

The Safe Steps annual Candlelight Vigil campaigns remembers and honours those who have been killed by domestic and family violence. The jetty triangle area was lit with purple lights, while in Thompson Avenue, Obrien Real Estate dedicated a window display to Change for Sam.

Thank you to everyone who braved the weather and came down on Wednesday night to remember Sam and all others that have lost their lives to family violence. Thank you to Bass Coast Shire Council, Gippsland Womens Health, Phillip Island Rotary, Coles Cowes and everyone else involved in making this event so perfect.
