🕯️ Domestic Violence Remembrance Vigil 💜

Hunter Women’s Centre is proud to stand alongside and support the Newcastle DV Committee at this year’s Domestic Violence Remembrance Vigil.

Together, we will remember and honour the women and children who have lost their lives this year due to domestic and family violence.

This vigil is a time for reflection, solidarity and community — standing together to acknowledge lives lost, support victim-survivors, and recommit to a future free from violence.

We invite our community to join us in remembering those taken too soon and standing for change.

As the temperature starts to drop and winter approaches, our friends at Nova for Women and Children: Homelessness and Domestic Violence Service are seeking donations of warm sleepwear for women and children.

Many women and children in refuges, transitional housing, crisis accommodation, or sleeping rough in their cars face winter without enough warm clothing. Your donation can help provide comfort, warmth and dignity during the colder months.

If you can help by donating new warm pyjamas, sleepwear, slippers or blankets for women and children, it would be greatly appreciated. Every contribution makes a difference. 💜

The temperature is starting to drop, and winter is just around the corner. Help us keep the women and children in our refuges and transitional properties, crisis housing or sleeping rough in their cars, warm this winter by donating warm sleepwear for women and children.
