Help us build a safer future for women and children in the Illawarra
Join us in building a brighter future for women and children in the Illawarra
-
✽
We are working to build a bespoke Community Centre in the heart of Wollongong, where women and children feel safe, valued, respected and have a sense of belonging.
-
✽
A centralised hub where we can deliver all of the programs and supports we currently offer in a trauma informed and collaborative way.
-
✽
A place where women can access social supports, services, resources and technology with dignity and privacy.
-
✽
A Community Centre that meets women and children at the point of their need in practical ways, featuring both laundry facilities and a community kitchen.
-
✽
We are committed to providing women and children a purpose-built secure space where they can give evidence at court by Audio Visual Link without stepping foot inside the court.
-
✽
Our dream is a building that not only serves the community but also provides temporary and short-term accommodation to women and children experiencing domestic violence and homelessness.
