Where the Heart Is

Join 3CR's Roominations this Friday 22 March as we broadcast live from the Where the Heart Is Festival, a festival especially for the homeless, marginalised and disadvantaged in our community. Join us as we give a voice to the voiceless as well as celebrate the lives of a community of people usually abused and dismissed by mainstream society. Tune in from 12-2pm and learn more about the realities of living below the poverty line.
