🧡 Together, we can make a difference.

In the lead-up to the 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence, Soroptimist International Goulburn is beginning a series of posts to raise awareness of domestic and family violence and share important support resources.

Violence against women and girls is not just a private issue. It is a community issue that affects families, friendships, workplaces and lives.

Over the coming weeks, we'll explore what domestic violence can look like, how to recognise controlling behaviour, where to find help and how we can all contribute to safer communities.

The 16 Days of Activism officially begins on 25 November and continues until 10 December.

Because awareness leads to understanding, and understanding can inspire action.

💜 If you need support, contact 1800RESPECT on 1800 737 732, available 24/7.

💙 Sometimes it's the little things that make the biggest difference.

A warm blanket. A bundle of baby essentials. Clean clothing when someone needs it most. A thoughtful gesture that reminds someone they're not alone.

These might seem like small things, but for someone going through a difficult time, they can mean so much. 💕

We're proud to support our local community through practical projects that make a real difference.

✨ Some of the ways our members help include:

🍼 Baby Bundles – Providing essential items to support new mothers and their babies.

🧥 Emergency Clothing – Helping ensure people in need have access to clothing at Goulburn Base Hospital.

🧶 Hand-knitted Knee Rugs – Bringing warmth and comfort to residents at Warrigal Aged Care.

♻️ Chip Packet Project – Giving used chip packets a second life by turning them into blankets for people in need.

Behind every project are members generously giving their time, skills and care to help others.

💙 That's what being a Soroptimist is all about – women coming together to make a difference, one act of kindness at a time.

Would you like to be part of something meaningful in your local community? We'd love to hear from you!

Thank you to all of the volunteers that came to help us today at the Chip Packet Project Goulburn fusing day!

Together we fused 40 strips, completed a blanket, and fused strips to make another blanket ready for the plastic!

We also had volunteers helping cut and prepare chip packets ready to get washed and dried! Every little bit helps!

We look forward to organising our next fusing day!
