Wonderful Women’s Day

International Women’s Day hosted by WomenKind Australia Inc and sponsored by Sanctum Medical, Aloha Active and Platinum Tax solutions was a wonderful day.

Inspirational speakers Jacqui Bell, Emma Lilley, and Tracy Stockwell shared their stories of grit and determination. The Kitty Kats celebrated women in music and the money raised will assist local women in crisis with crisis counselling and legal advice.

A thousand dollars can be the difference between safety and security, between leaving or staying in abusive relationships. The funds raised on the day will help at least 20 local women and families to move towards freedom and security.

The WomenKind Board thanked guests and sponsors at the long lunch.

“Because of your generosity WomenKind can continue to provide essential support including counselling, legal assistance and practical help to women experiencing hardship, including those affected by homelessness and domestic violence,” they said.

“Beyond the funds raised, your support also sends a powerful message – that our community stands together to ensure women are supported, valued and given the opportunity to rebuild and thrive.”
