Did you know?
The fastest growing category of people experiencing homelessness is middle-aged and older single women.
Domestic violence, isolation, poor mental health, children leaving the family home and the economic effects of this are key factors. Many of these women are sleeping in their cars, makeshift camps, or in unsuitable and dangerous accommodation.
Together, we are raising funds to help these women through The Byron Community Centre.
The Byron Community Centre has just commenced a program for women to provide wellbeing and support services locally.
Women at risk of homelessness (as well as those already homeless) can have computer and internet access; counselling; therapeutic activities such as gardening and arts and craft; and access to hot showers, hygiene products and pamper days.
Your financial support ensures this program continues effectively (in partnership with other organisations working with women in the Byron shire) to help these women from falling through the gaps.
