We are thrilled to advise that Friends of Women’s Refuges Trust have donated a record breaking $350,000 donation to NZ Women’s Refuge from the proceeds of the NZ The exhibition attracted 21,000 visitors – the biggest turnout in the its 27-year history.
The donation will support Women’s Refuge NZs programs including the provision of crisis accommodation for women and children, essential personal care items, and counselling and advocacy support.
Women’s Refuge NZ CEO Dr Ang Jury says
without the ongoing commitment and support of the Friends of Women’s Refuges Trust and NZ Sculpture OnShore, Women’s Refuge would not be able to provide the level of vital care, safety and support so desperately needed by women and children experiencing the impacts of domestic violence.
“Working to achieve safety within their lives is hard, and support like this means we can make this all just a little bit easier,” she says.
The exhibition is the biggest fundraising event for Women’s Refuge NZ and the largest outdoor sculpture event in the country.
That deserves another BIG THANK YOU! We hope you all enjoyed the exhibition and look forward to welcoming you back in 2025. Sculpture OnShore 2023 exhibition!
