SHELTER NETWORK
Each Women’s Community Shelter is community led and operated,
supported by a volunteer Board.
Shelters are staffed with a Shelter Manager and case workers. They’re also backed by a team of dedicated volunteers. Along with the Board, each shelter has a dedicated group of community members that volunteer in any way they can, from support with fundraising, maintenance of buildings and the surrounds, to organising events and activities for women and children.
Each of our safe havens understands the different needs of its residents; from short to long term accommodation, unique support for older women, as well as women with children.
