Help power a path forward
Donate and make a difference to people impacted by domestic and family violence.
GIVIT has seen an increase in domestic violence charities and support organisations requesting assistance for people living long term in shelters or temporary accommodation. A lack of housing means families are spending up to three years in transitional accommodation.
Organisations providing domestic violence support are stretched, and struggling to provide the essential items and services their clients desperately need. By donating to GIVIT's Domestic and Family Violence Appeal, you can help power a path forward.
