Kate grew up in a very bookish house, with two librarian parents, in a small town by the sea on the north-west coast of Tasmania.

In Memory of Rob Leonard, Our Founder
It is with great sadness that the Board of Directors, staff, and myself from the Children’s Charity Network must inform you of the passing of our founder, Mr Rob Leonard, following a 14-month battle with Cancer. We pass our condolences to Rob’s friends and family at this terrible time.
Rob was a wonderful, caring man with a passion for service and charity. His vision to influence young Australians through literacy 25 years ago has impacted thousands, who will all be saddened by this news. In honour of Rob, I look forward to growing his vision and continuing to advocate for the value of literacy and arts.
Please take a moment to reflect upon Rob’s impact on you, and remember his uncompromising belief in the power of Art and Writing.
Rob, you will be truly missed but never far away from our thoughts.
May Rob’s memory be a blessing.
Jason Woods Children’s Charity Network Board and Community
