Why are we collecting funds ?
Our vision is to help our community live happier and healthier lives by challenging the social structures that maintain domestic and family violence and by providing a comprehensive and client centred quality service to all vulnerable clients.
In 2009, the CRDVS provided crisis support and on-going counselling to 1,764 people affected by domestic and family violence and our child counsellor provided counselling to 87 children.
The demand for services from people affected by domestic violence continues to increase and the need to raise additional revenue to meet those demands is paramount. The CRDVS is collecting funds to help adults and their childen escaping domestic violence with financial and material assistance.

How will we use these funds ?
The Cairns Regional Domestic Violence Service Gift Fund is a practical response assisting adults and their children dealing with an immediate crisis situation in a way that maintains the dignity of the individual and encourages self reliance.
The funds will be used to offer emergency financial and/or material assistance to those with limited or no income. Assistance can include (but is not limited to) food vouchers, cost of public transport, healthcare costs including prescriptions, clothing and household goods, repairing damage to property or upgrading property security, and payment of animal kenneling for those requiring entry to a domestic violence refuge or alternative safe accommodation that cannot take family pets.
