Northern Beaches Women's Shelter
We are exciting to have Narelle HandCEO of The Northern Beaches Women’s Shelter & Chair of the Northern Beaches Domestic Violence Network.
The Northern Beaches Women’s Shelter (NBWS) was established by our community. It exists to serve our community. It survives because of our community.
NBWS is a safe haven, supporting homeless women so they can rebuild their lives, reclaim their independence and rejoin society. Formerly Manly Women’s Shelter, NBWS is a non-profit, community-funded charitable organisation providing crisis accommodation, support, safety and services for homeless women across Sydney’s Northern Beaches.
We provide an individual case management, outcomes-based approach, assisting women to access permanent accommodation and community support systems and services.
Our goal is identifying and addressing the underlying root cause/s of each individual woman’s homelessness, so that their lives are forever transformed for the better through their stay, and the benefits to their health, well-being and prospects are enduring.
We know the main factors leading to homelessness include physical, emotional and/or sexual abuse; family breakdown; financial strife; domestic violence; addiction; mental health issues and/or lack of affordable housing.
Homelessness doesn’t discriminate; it can happen to anyone
All welcome Monday 6th November 630pm start, come and have dinner with us and hear Narelle’s talk 7.45pm. Club Belrose 6.30-8.30pm More details »
