You Can Help

Supporting Sonshine Sanctuary – A little help can make a BIG difference.

Your support could mean the difference between a crisis situation involving abuse or a safe environment of positive attitude. It is no small act when you help support Sonshine Sanctuary in ending domestic violence and providing a loving environment for women and children affected by this tragedy.

Your Support Will Provide:

• A physical place that is safe and secure where women and their children can live free from violence or harassment.
• Emotional support and encouragement to help women to make plans for the future.
• Guidance on housing, income, counselling, legal, health, childcare, schools, support groups, migrant services and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander services.
• Emergency food and toiletries for families who are forced to leave their homes in crisis.

How You Can Provide Support:

Become a Sonshine Ambassador

Our Ambassadors assist in at least four ways: They pray for the Sonshine Sanctuary ministry; they promote Sonshine Sanctuary–its ministry and its needs–to their friends and associates; and they become financial members of Sonshine. Finally, it is the responsibility of financial members to elect Sonshine’s officers each year . By registering as an Ambassador, we are also able to keep you more informed with regular updates. 

Our Ambassadors as financial members are essential – without them Sonshine Sanctuary Association does not exist. Financial members are the ‘owners’ and the foundation of the organisation.

The Refuge is staffed by volunteers, with the exception of our Team Leader/s. We would like to be in a position to have staff on duty 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Therefore there are a large number of volunteer staff needed to meet the continuous operation of the Refuge, and new staff are always welcome to join our team.
