Our initiatives include workshops, support groups, and community projects that foster confidence and empowerment. Plus, we have recently become a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO), which will enhance our ability to serve the community effectively. We're also growing our website, courses, and digital platforms to better support our members. Our goal is for 50% of our funding to come from donations within five years.
Your Role:
