Using creative endeavours as a way to better connect, support and upskill vulnerable members of the community is at the heart of what Jindera resident Kurt Saggers does.
The creative consultant, who has worked with a number of community groups over several decades, said his passion to help link people together was informed by his experiences of mental ill health and being in and out of psych wards.
"When I was 20 I had a drug-induced psychosis, pot and ketamine, and I had quite a scary experience," Mr Saggers said.
