Members of the community are invited to attend a barbecue in Billabong Park on Friday, November 24 from 6pm. During the event, attendees can take the White Ribbon Oath as part of a commitment to make Gloucester a safer place.
I will stand up, speak out and act to prevent men’s violence against women. This is my oath.
- White Ribbon Oath
The Bucketts Way Neighbourhood Group has been running a raffle for a handmade quilt which will be drawn on the day. Proceeds of the raffle will go toward domestic violence prevention and awareness. Tickets can be purchased for $2 from Southern Belle Hairdresser or the BWNG office at 88 King Street.
This year’s White Ribbon Day is in support of the STOP Kit (See, Talk, Offer support, Prevent), providing knowledge and skills to help prevent violence against women. For more information visit, https://www.whiteribbon.org.au/day/
