π Recently we were delighted to welcome Graeme and Monica Spender to Peggy's Place.
It was a privilege to show them around our service, share our vision, and talk about the lives being transformed through recovery, healing and hope.
We are incredibly grateful that Graeme and Monica have chosen to become regular donors to Peggy's Place in memory of the late Dale Spender AM.
Dale was a pioneering Australian feminist scholar, educator, author and advocate who dedicated her life to advancing equality for women. Her work has inspired generations, and we are deeply honoured that her legacy will continue through support that helps women and children rebuild their lives after domestic and family violence.
To honour Dale's extraordinary contribution, we are proud to display her photograph alongside one of her powerful quotes at Peggy's Place. The portrait is beautifully reflected in shades of purple, Dale's favourite colour, which also symbolises courage, dignity and justice for women. Together, they serve as a daily reminder of the importance of standing up for women and creating a future free from violence.
To Graeme and Monica, thank you for your generosity, kindness and commitment. Your ongoing support will help create lasting change for the women and children who call Peggy's Place home, ensuring Dale's legacy continues to inspire hope for generations to come.
Together, we are Breaking the Cycle. Restoring Hope. π
