Tuesday Sept 10 6pm - Hoyts Warringah Mall: Join us for a Movie Screening & Discussion about Domestic Violence. https://lnkd.in/gy-4RwPT You're invited to a private screening of 'It Ends With Us' a movie exploring domestic violence, followed by an address and Q&A with our senior DV support worker and sharing of lived experience from our CEO. Craig will share some insights from his own lived experience and lead a facilitated discussion with attendees. “I think, to my own experience, having been in a domestic abuse situation that included coercive control, I understand everyone’s journey is different. I encourage people to take the first step forward, if they can and if they want to, come to LocalKind,” Craig says. We hope to see you there: https://lnkd.in/gy-4RwPT

I will be running or maybe walking 😂 at the Beach2Beach Fun Run, depending on how those stale muscles will cope on the day, in support of LocalKind Northern Beaches. Let's raise some $$$s to provide much needed basics and services to the homeless and the most vulnerable in our community. Any donations, big or small, will help us assist those who need us the most: https://lnkd.in/g5__Eg5z

Couldn't have said it any better ourselves and a huge thank you to Amanda and Pencil Box Marketing for all your ongoing support!

Thanking a great volunteer on Volunteers Week

During this event, participating businesses pledge a percentage of their sales to support LocalKind’s charitable efforts in serving vulnerable and at-risk individuals. By shopping at these businesses, patrons contribute to causes such as domestic and family violence support, homelessness assistance, refugee aid, youth programs, and more. It’s an opportunity for the community to come together, make a positive impact, and create a culture of kindness and community support. 🛒🌟 Visit the Shop for Good page to plan your shopping journey May 17 - 18 and give back to your community: https://lnkd.in/ef9iJu2a Manly Observer The Tawny Frogmouth Hello Manly 7th Day Brewery AHHA Jewelry ALOHA MANLY STYLE Budgy Smuggler Manly Food Co-operative Broken Bay Brewing Co.

Amazing event last night @opforchange in Manly supporting a wonderful local Charity helping women escaping domestic violence. LocalKind Northern Beaches. It was truly wonderful to see so many people join and support this event and the charity. We also had a silent Auction for Art that was kindly donated by local Northern Beaches Artists. I was overjoyed by the success of this event and all thanks to our supportive community. #artforcharity #artdonated #artforall #community

https://lnkd.in/gVXC4-ze On 20 March 2024, Anthony D'Adam MLC gave a Private Members' Statement to the NSW Legislative Council on LCSA’s Pre-Budget Submission. He highlights the tireless work of neighbourhood and community centres during the COVID-19 pandemic, recent natural disasters and the current cost-of-living crisis. Anthony calls on the NSW Government to fund social infrastructure in NSW by investing in neighbourhood and community centres. Indeed LocalKind recognises our role as an LCSA member in providing such services. https://lnkd.in/gVXC4-ze

Our Storeroom is low on stock and needs donations. Many people drop in to our centre facing homelessness, crisis, need for food aid, or come in from social housing. Our store room is like a mini store that is stocked with community donations which can then be provided to those in need. Recently, when clients come in, our volunteers are finding empty shelves or slim pickings to offer.
