19.01.2022 She is at the heart of everything that we do. With every step we take we put her first - creating not just a roof over her head but a place she can call home. Womenscommunityshelters.org.au/donate

18.01.2022 The team and I at Jeep were inspired by this Chaka Khan/Whitney song to create something beautiful especially after a year that was less than beautiful in our industry and more importantly in the world. I believe it is even more powerful to use your gifts give back during tough times. As each exceptionally talent individual came on board to work on this collaboration our hearts soared. ‘I’m Every Woman’ was the perfect song I felt, as it has always reinforced my belief tha...t every woman deserves to feel beautiful and valued.

16.01.2022 Today, in a game changer for Australian women, Are Media has formed a powerful coalition to call for state and federal governments to criminalise coercive control. Standing with Women's Community Shelters, White Ribbon Australia, Women's Safety NSW, Small Steps 4 Hannah, Women's Legal Service Queensland, and Doctors Against Violence Towards Women - Public Page , Editor of The The Australian Women's Weekly Nicole Byers delivered a firm message to state and federal government. We will not stop until we are heard. Details: https://bit.ly/3dgle8a

16.01.2022 It was wonderful to welcome the Parramatta Women's Shelter Board to the HUB this weekend. They are invested and dedicated in delivery quality and best practice service to the Parramatta region. They are currently $400 shy of a goal to fund outreach services, so if you can help them reach this goal by donating or sharing the link, we would be most grateful.

14.01.2022 #gratitudepost Welcome to the WCS Team Michelle Bridges! And the rollercoaster begins...... Never did I think I would throw my hat in the ring, but hey, it’s 2020! It’s been a wild ride already, what more could happen... Already I have met some incredible people, and hats off to all the celebs who have taken on these crazy making tasks and Lord Sugar. And we are doing it all for charity! Can’t wait to help support my beautiful Charity! Women’s Community Shelters More than one in two women across Australia who seek a bed in a crisis shelter are turned away every night, mostly due to a lack of space. Supporting women and children who are disadvantaged and suffering due to domestic violence, family violence and homelessness. As a single mum, my heart breaks that we have such a problem in this country. I’m delighted and extremely proud to be supporting this incredibly important charity. Love Mish Michelle Bridges Celebrity Apprentice Australia #celebrityapprentice #celebrityapprenticeau #walkingbesideher #domesticviolence

13.01.2022 Saturday inspiration, sorted! We are blown away that our incredible Walk The Talk supporters at Kingswood High have created their own video as a tool to motivate their mates to get behind Chores for a Cause. Do take a look, it’s genuinely so encouraging to see teens partnering us in our work. Bravo Kingswood! The Haven - Nepean Women's Shelter are very grateful and so value you partnering them in their work.

09.01.2022 "The prawns are running this month and the travel restrictions are favourable. At the minimum, it will be a great weekend out of Sydney in beautiful country with some real characters. We will stay the night locally the night before, having dinner with some of the traditional owners, the Biripi people." - John Hempton Ray Saunders' son Grant is a film-maker who made the beautiful and thoughtful film - Teach A Man To Fish - about the river, his father, a fisherman’s life and a ...lot of current issues. It debuted at the Sydney Film Festival (SFF) in 2018. To get the ball rolling I have donated $10,000 to Great Lakes Womens Shelter and am hoping some of my readers can beat that handsomely. The bidding will start at $5000. Even with a minimum bid the Shelter will get a very welcome $15000. There is only room for two extra people on the boat so there will just be two of us with Grant and Ray. Happy bidding John Hempton https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/164427821690

07.01.2022 I AM EVERY WOMAN 2020 has been an incredibly tough year for almost everyone. Australia has seen an increase in Family Violence during this pandemic with many women and children having access to even more limited options to flee violent homes. In fact, on average 56,000 women are homeless each night in Australia. And alarmingly, 45 women have been killed by a partner or former partner so far this year. The team and I at Jeep were inspired by this Chaka Khan/Whitney song to cr...eate something beautiful especially after a year that was less than beautiful in our industry and more importantly in the world. I believe it is even more powerful to use your gifts give back during tough times. As each exceptionally talent individual came on board to work on this collaboration our hearts soared. ‘I’m Every Woman’ was the perfect song I felt, as it has always reinforced my belief that every woman deserves to feel beautiful and valued.

02.01.2022 Drum roll please... We have extremely exciting news. We have been asked to co-create a Walk The Talk Corporate program with KPMG Australia for Women's Community Shelters! This is an incredible opportunity for us to walk alongside a multinational corporate and reimagine how they might best not only support employees living with domestic and / or family violence, but extend their talents into the broader community to better support frontline services too. It's an enormous opp...ortunity to also centre the voices of survivors, embed action (not just words) and to work for change. Our Director for Education and Special Projects, Dannielle Miller, will be designing and delivering this work. Onwards!
