Whilst Christmas is a wonderful time for many of us, for others, the pressures of the season lead to an increase in violence. If you feel unsafe at any time please call the police on triple zero “000”. If you feel you need to talk to someone about your situation and what options are available to you, the NSW Domestic Violence Line is the best place to call: 1800 656 463
The women and their families in Mary’s House over the Christmas season are very grateful to all who are supporting them by providing lovely Christmas meals, gifts, vouchers, outings, and so on.
A safe and happy Christmas to everyone.

Today is World Human Rights Day. This marks the final day of the 16 Days of Activism, which began on November 25 with International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women. The 16 days of Activism is a UN campaign to raise awareness about gender based violence, challenge discriminatory attitudes and call for improved laws and services to end violence against women.
We are always very grateful for the amazing support we receive from our community. In the past quarter a number of organisations have hosted events supporting Mary’s House.
Pink Elite – hosted a high tea with Mayor Gayle Giles-Gidney in attendance. Guests were treated to a performance by Winnie Han, an opera singer with the voice of an angel.
Drawers were Maggy Farago, Jinnah Moorfield, Rebecca Pierce (artist), Sue Raveane (Rotary)
