ROTARY CHADSTONE EAST MALVERN SAYS NO TO FAMILY AND DOMESTIC VIOLENCE.
It is time for all of us to step up and help correct poor behaviour.
We know that the long-term solution to family and domestic violence will flow from education and changed behaviour, not just from the perpetrators but also from those of us that are aware of it – we need to speak up.
In the meantime, Rotarians from Chadstone East Malvern are supporting families that need to escape by providing Emergency Packs of essential items.
We will work with highly accredited community organisation Safe Steps.

Safe Steps is a free service for all people experiencing family and domestic violence.
You do not need a referral to use their service.
Talk to their supportive team on 1800 015 188 for family and domestic violence crisis support.

Our first project will be to buy items for inclusion in a Toiletries and Basic Essentials Pack.
Each pack will contain items such as toothbrush/toothpaste, Hairbrush, Shampoo, conditioner, body wash, face washer, towel, underwear, socks, PJs, a change of clothes, pads/tampons and other identified essentials.
Want to show these families that someone cares? Want to get involved? Like to donate an item or two?
You can contact us Dawn 0419 502 119 or Paul 0409 937 080
