It's been a year of great change for acclaimed Australian fashion entrepreneur Margarey Barry, who's had titles added to either end of her name while she accelerates the work of the charity she founded to help Bali's children receive quality education.

Knighted by the Order of St John last month and honoured with an Order of Australia on Australia Day for her work with Bali Children Foundation, Dame Margaret Barry OAM is now focussed on bringing changes to the lives of children in the village of Songan in Bali's Kintamani region.

Songan was hit hard by devastating landslides in February 2017 that killed 12 people in the region, and BCF is working to help 550 disadvantaged children there.

It's part of the charity's overall mission supporting 4500 children with vocational education across 60 Balinese communities, plus more than 1200 scholarships from primary to tertiary ages.

Dame Margaret flew into Perth on Friday for a fundraising lunch for the Songan programme at Frasers Restaurant in Kings Park.
