A Place By The Sea 6:30pm, Sunday 2 December Follows a group of children who spend two weeks at Stewart House on Sydney's northern beaches, a place where problems can be left behind.

Stewart House was established in 1930 to provide respite care to youngsters in times of crisis and need. Today, around 1800 children from around NSW and the ACT visit each year. During their stay, they are provided with optometric, dental and medical treatment as well as emotional support. This moving documentary uncovers stories from the past and present, and demonstrates how Stewart House helps children through difficult times, often changing lives for the better.

Next week, in Caravan of Hope, Compass follows the work of Salvation Army Chaplains Jean and Peter Ridley as they take Christmas cheer and joy - and toys for the kids - to the people of the bush Look out for our Compass Special: Churches on Trial screening on Tuesday, 11 December at 8pm on ABC1.
