Help and Shelter hosts ‘Salute to Mothers’ fundraiser

Apr 20, 2013 News

 

On Sunday,  Help and Shelter will be hosting its annual “Salute the Mothers” fundraiser brunch on the lawns of the Georgetown Club, Camp Street. The event starts from10 am.
Entertainment will be provided by Dave Martins and Friends.
Eighteen years ago, a group of concerned persons vowed that no one in danger of being abused in their homes by their partners should ever be alone and without refuge.
Today the nation is seeing the results of their vision; a shelter for abused women and their children, a crisis centre where anyone, man or woman, who is a victim or at risk of domestic violence, can access help and support. The centre affords them their dignity, and their right to live free from fear and harm.
Help and Shelter receives funding from the government and from a variety of concerned groups. The needs are great and the financial gap continues to widen each year. Last year alone, more than 30 persons were violently killed by their partners. Some have been maimed for life.
Apart from the devastating social and personal cost of domestic and sexual violence, the direct and indirect economic cost to the national economy is enormous.
