Women's Community Shelters Limited Cover Photo
More than 1 in 2 women are turned away from crisis shelters when they need one. More than 60% of these women (often with their children) are leaving domestic violence. WCS exists to meet this ever-growing demand and works with local communities to develop collaborative responses to the problem by establishing new shelters. Our shelters are characterized by community ownership, strong oversight and governance, the leveraging of in-kind support from the community, and dedicated volunteer programs. Our staffing model provides support to women 24/7 on-site. WCS needs your support to help establish even more crisis shelters for women and children who are homeless or leaving domestic violence. It is our aim to open 2 new shelters by the end of 2017, another in 2018 with one in the pipeline. A new shelter would support an additional 120 women and children per annum, with outreach and advice available across the local community. We are funded on a unique and ground breaking tri-partite model, bringing together philanthropy, community and government. Can you help us change the paradigm in NSW and give these women the support they need?
