RISING SILENCE is a new event initiative created by a DV survivor who now works consistently in the entertainment and music industries and communities; the purpose of RISING SILENCE is to raise funds for those experiencing DV who don't have the same support system, resources, knowledge or abilities for any reason to free themselves of their home scenarios and build their life back as she did.
Due to this being held in Kings Cross at Mansions venue, we have selected to collaborate with Kings Cross' Wayside Chapel and pour all funds raised and any/all profit into their Women's Space. The Wayside Chapel Women's Space is a warmer safe space than what some may be used to from shelters or safe havens..
Women’s Space; Wayside Chapel's Women’s Program was established to provide care and support to all visitors who identify as women, and non-binary people. The team works alongside women to provide trauma-informed care coordination, addressing barriers to wellbeing such as experiences of domestic and family violence, complex mental health, homelessness and financial disadvantage, and much more. The program offers care coordination support as well as community engagement activities and events.
It operates out of a dedicated space, where women can connect with each other over a cuppa. The space is a calm oasis within Wayside, offering laundry facilities, shower and toiletries, phone charging station, games, books and resources, creative activities and access to a computer. For many women, it is a welcoming place to ‘just be’.
By making a donation, you will be helping to deliver love, support and assistance to women facing these issues.
