💜 Winter Appeal update.

Thanks to your support, we've reached a third of our $15,000 Winter Appeal goal.

Today is World Elder Abuse Awareness Day.

It’s an important opportunity to come together and stand against the abuse, mistreatment and neglect of older people. We all have a role to play in awareness raising and prevention of elder abuse.

We draw attention to the ways older women experience ageism and gender inequality. Learn more about how we can all contribute to change so all older people are seen and valued in our communities.

There are many ways to get involved:
⭐ Take part in the program, challenging ageism and sexism one batch of biscuits at a time.
⭐ Explore Celebrate Ageing’s [un]Silencing of Older Women resources. Learn how gender inequality is experienced by older women and how to address elder abuse with a gender lens.
⭐ Check out exhibition, where older people share advice to their younger selves.
⭐ Centre the voices and lived experience of older women and people in your daily life.

Help is available if you are experiencing, or are at risk of experiencing, elder abuse. Call the free elder abuse helpline on 1300 368 821 from 10 am to 5 pm, Monday to Friday.

If you are a concerned friend or family member, please encourage the older person to call the elder abuse helpline or reach out to a trusted health professional.

Hana* fled family violence with little more than what she could carry.

After moving between emergency accommodation and relatives’ homes, Hana eventually secured housing with support from Juno and was reunited with her five children. “It’s the best thing to ever happen to me,” she said.

Rebuilding after your life has been uprooted is overwhelming. And as the cost of living rises, it is becoming even harder.

Many of the people Juno supports are struggling to afford essentials like groceries, heating, petrol and basic household items, all while trying to rebuild safe and stable lives after violence and homelessness.

Your donation can help provide practical support for families like Hana’s this winter.

“It was the first time where I really felt like someone was actually paying attention and actually listening to what was going on with me.”

In this interview, Miles, a young person and former Juno client, reflects on their experience of homelessness and the toll it took, impacting every part of their life, including work, study, and their ability to plan for the future. They share how difficult it can be to access support, often feeling like you need to say the “right thing” to be taken seriously or get help.

Miles describes their experience with Juno as the first time they felt truly listened to and supported.

Juno welcomes the Federal Government’s commitment to unlocking more housing for young people in the recent budget. We also echo comments from Time welcoming the housing supplement and the continued call for greater investment in social housing.

Thank you Miles for sharing your story. ❤️

The cost of staying safe is rising.

Every day, Juno supports people experiencing family violence and homelessness. But rising costs are making it even harder for the people we support to afford basic essentials while trying to rebuild a safe and stable life.

Many are going without heating, struggling to put food on the table, or delaying essential appointments because the cost of petrol and everyday expenses has become too much.

As more people turn to Juno for emergency relief and practical support, demand on our services continues to grow. That’s why we’ve launched our Urgent Winter Appeal and are asking for your help.

Your donation can help women, children, trans and gender diverse people rebuilding after violence and homelessness access the support they need this winter.

Donate today: https://juno.org.au/winter-appeal-the-cost-of-staying-safe/ 💜

Your donation of $2 or more to Juno is tax-deductible in Australia.
