This month we were delighted to welcome the team from Escala Partners as corporate volunteers at our Domestic and Family Violence (DFV) crisis accommodation – The Cottage. They met with our DFV team and heard stories about hope and resilience and how victim/survivors who come to us are assisted to lives of independence and autonomy.
It was great to be able to share some of the red flags, bust some of the myths around DFV and provide practical suggestions about how we can all be allies to help end the cycle of violence. We were grateful for their support in a working bee type experience, cleaning and gardening which really helps free up the team for more client facing work.
