Help Women and Families Escape Violence

Your contribution helps provide safe accommodation, advocacy, and practical support for women and families impacted by family violence across Rodney and North Auckland.

Choose the way that suits you:

Fundraising can be a fun, practical way to make a real difference. Here are a few easy ideas to get started:

Bake sale
Mufti day (casual work day) or a themed dress-up day
Sausage sizzle
Sponsored challenge (walk, run, or cycle)
Sell pre-loved items on Trade Me
Raffle
Annual appeal / donation day collection

To boost your results, promote your event on social media (especially Facebook) and set up a Givealittle page so people can donate online, even if they can’t attend in person.
