SUPPORT US

Another inspiring International Women’s Day was held at the beautiful Waterfront Restaurant a space filled with generosity, heartfelt stories, and the collective power of women.

We extend our deepest thanks to Annie O’Connor, Jeanette Allom Hill, Catherine Molloy, and Emma Lilly for gifting us their time and voices, so we could honour the highs and lows of being a woman in this time and place.

WomenKind began here in Noosa several years ago with a simple mission:
To bring women together, to connect through shared stories, and to be of service to other women.

Born from the success of a very special fundraising ball where nearly $300,000 was raised during Covid to support local counselling services a group of passionate women came together to form a not-for-profit, determined to continue supporting our community.

Since then, we’ve hosted breakfasts, lunches, and more magical balls, always working toward a shared dream:
To create a haven for women in need.

With a signed MOU in place with the Salvation Army, we’ve continued to raise funds and help realise that dream. Thanks to those efforts, a safe car park for women has now been secured offering women sleeping in their cars a safe space to rest, shower, wash clothes, and access support.

Just last week, one woman experienced her first night of undisturbed sleep in six months, no longer afraid of being discovered.

We are deeply proud to have walked beside women in these quiet yet life-changing moments.

This year marks a new and exciting chapter for WomenKind.
We are expanding our impact and deepening our service by becoming a philanthropic charity.

Here’s what’s new:

• Free Legal Support: In partnership with local law firms, we      are now able to offer up to six hours of free legal assistance to      any woman exiting domestic and family violence.
• WomenKind ‘Fairy Dust’ Initiative: (thank you for the name, Fizzy!)  through gifts, grants, and bursaries delivered via trusted service      networks, we’ll support women quietly doing it tough.

We are a community of women helping women in our community.

We welcome others to join us:
If you have skills in marketing, fundraising, events, grants, or investment, we would love to hear from you.
