Did you know?
Most of the organisations who fundraise for us are White Ribbon Supporter Organisations!
By signing up to this workplace programme, they’ve committed to raising awareness about the issue of men’s violence against women and girls in their communities. Fundraising events are crucial to this work, and engage men in important conversations about the role they can play in creating healthier, safer environments where they live, work and study.
This is a diverse and dynamic group of organisations who are making communities safer places for women.
