09.01.2022 My thoughts and prayers are with the community of Kilmarnock as they grieve the loss of Emma and Nicole after they were brutally stabbed to death by Emma's ex partner. As the details have unfolded over the weekend, it is clear that, sadly, domestic and family violence continues to be as big an issue in my home country of Scotland, as it is here. https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk//light-candles-tonight-m/

06.01.2022 Looking for a Red Bench for Ruth's We would love to put a Red Bench in the garden at Ruth's Women's Shelter. Not only would it provide the perfect spot for reflection and conversation, it would also be a tribute to all the women who have stayed with us at Ruth's Women's Shelter in the past. If we can source a red bench, Red Rose Foundation will provide the plaque to put on it. If you know of anyone who could help us find one - please let us know ... https://www.redrosefoundation.com.au/index.php/redbench/
