Thank you, NESS!

This is the kind of community work that matters.

None of us can do this work properly in silos. Not shelters, not disability services, not health services, not food relief, not community organisations. People’s lives do not fit neatly into one service box, and neither should our response. We are so grateful to work alongside and organisation like yours!

When local organisations support each other, we create something stronger than any one program can deliver on its own.

A frozen meal, a sleeping bag, a conversation, a referral, a shared understanding. These are the practical pieces that help hold people when life is hard.

Together, we are working towards a healthier, safer, and more connected community.

We are very grateful to NESS, your staff, participants, and community members for standing alongside us. We are also so very grateful to the many services and community groups and members that walk alongside us and make it all come together!

Thank you, Armidale.

The Womens Shelter Armidale has moved to 230 Brown St, Armidale, in the train station precinct.

We are deeply grateful for the tremendous support our community continues to show us. Every donation, shared post, practical offer, kind word, and act of generosity helps strengthen safety and support for women, children, young people, and community members in need.

Our new location is now home to our administration and our food project, including meals for community members experiencing hardship.

This move also creates new opportunities for growth. It gives us space to strengthen and expand programs that support women, children, and young people, and to continue building practical, community-based support where it is needed most.

The building on the left in the image is our new location.

Thank you for continuing to stand with us.

The Womens Shelter Armidale
230 Brown St, Armidale

The office hours are Monday-Friday 11:00 am to 3:00 pm. If you are needing support outside of those hours, we can be contacted at 1800 005 352 or visit our website at: https://www.womensshelterarmidale.org/contact-us

On this land, the oldest continuing cultures on earth have carried story, kinship, language, and Country through generations.

On National Sorry Day, we remember the children taken, the families broken, and the grief that did not end when the policy ended.

We honour the strength of Stolen Generations survivors and their descendants.

Sorry is not a word we place on a poster.

It is a responsibility we carry forward.
