BOARD MEMBER, VOLUNTEER COORDINATOR

“I joined Blue Wren House because I believe everyone deserves to feel safe, valued, and supported during life's most difficult moments.

I'm inspired by the organisation's commitment to restoring dignity and creating opportunities for women and children to rebuild their lives.

As someone who is passionate about developing people and building strong communities, I'm honoured to contribute my skills in leadership and volunteer coordination to help ensure every person who walks through Blue Wren House feels supported by a compassionate and committed community.”

BOARD MEMBER, DEPUTY CHAIR

“I joined Blue Wren House, Camden Women's Shelter, because I wanted to contribute to a cause that is deeply personal to me while giving back to the community.

Domestic and family violence continues to impact far too many women and children, with financial pressures, caring responsibilities, and the loss of confidence that often results from prolonged abuse making it incredibly difficult to leave unsafe situations.

While significant progress has been made in raising awareness and strengthening support services, there is still much work to be done.

I am passionate about supporting an organisation that provides women with safety, dignity and the opportunity to rebuild their lives, while also advocating for greater education around respectful, healthy relationships to help prevent abuse before it begins.”
