Join us for Lunch with Friends on April 27, 2024, proudly launching Domestic and Family Violence Prevention Month in May.
Presented by our Platinum Sponsor The BUSY Group and hosted at the stunning Queensland Cricketers Club in Brisbane, this event is a perfect opportunity to enjoy a Saturday lunch with friends while supporting a critical cause. Your participation will help raise critical funds to support adults and children impacted by domestic and family violence.
Every April at Friends with Dignity we hold our PJ Drive where we ask the community to donate new pyjamas for children from babies to size kids 16.
These PJs are then given to local refuges and services for the children in their care ensuring that they have a lovely fresh pair of jammies to cuddle in to.
Being a kid can be tough. Being a kid when things aren’t great can be even tougher.
Now in its seventh year, the Friends with Dignity annual Back to School Drive helps support our Little Friends in refuge to stand out for all the right reasons this coming school year.
Considering volunteering with us? By doing so you will be joining a passionate and dedicated team of people who are actively engaging to make a difference for men, women and children affected by Domestic and Family Violence.
We host monthly webinars for anyone interested in learning more about opportunities with Friends with Dignity. Information sessions are held on every 3rd Wednesday of each month at 7pm AEST via Microsoft teams
