Christmas Cheer!
Normally at this time of year the office is a hive of activity wrapping and distributing donations for our tenants. But COVID-19 stopped everything… even Christmas. Never fear the elves at Women’s Housing Ltd were not to be stopped.
Thanks to TWO VERY GENEROUS donations Christmas visited the children in our properties. This week our wonderful staff hand delivered 170 $100 gift cards to all the children housed by Women’s Housing Ltd.
To all a brilliant and safe Christmas!!
A Big Thank You to Broad Radio!

Broad Radio values kindness and loves a laugh but they also want to make a difference that is why they have chosen to support Women's Housing Ltd. Not only is Broad Radio a great platform to advocate for women’s issues but they also aim to raise $50,000 this year to help Women's Housing Ltd provide more low cost housing for women at risk of homelessness.
