Tim Costello is one of Australia’s most respected community leaders and a sought-after voice on social justice issues, leadership and ethics.

For 13 years until October 2016, Tim was Chief Executive of World Vision Australia, and until earlier this year he was World Vision’s Chief Advocate.

In his evocative memoir that has just been released – A Lot with a Little – Tim explores the people and experiences that have shaped him into a fighter facing the world’s most challenging issues.

Speaking at the Festival of Open Minds last month, Tim called on us to find unity in these challenging times and reminded us of the strength in compassion and hope, and the responsibility we all have to see justice served.
