Shared Futures Project:-

Haven, Home Safe is a vital organisation that provides housing and support services to those in need.
Specifically, the Sydney Myer HHS “Shared Futures” Project focuses on assisting individuals and families in securing stable accommodation.

By collaborating with this project our $250 Big W vouchers reach women who are in the critical phase of establishing their new homes. 


This initiative offers practical support and contributes to the well-being and independence of women during a critical time of transition. By working collaboratively with organisations like Haven, Home Safe,  Zonta Bendigo is making a significant positive impact on the lives of these women and help them build a better future.
