Friends with Dignity Limited

Friends with Dignity is a national volunteer based not for profit registered charity that provides practical programs to assist victim-survivors of domestic violence in collaboration with refuge and crisis centres.

Since our inception in September 2015, we have assisted thousands of individuals and their family members. We have been awarded the 2018 Australian Charity of the Year and we have proudly announced that Ms Rosie Batty is our National Ambassador.

Our Programs are:
SANCTUARIES
Working with the community, we source pre-loved and new household items to fully furnish homes (Sanctuaries) within 7 days for Survivors of Domestic and Family Violence enabling them to move forward with purpose, dignity and hope.

URGENT REQUESTS
Providing essential items to survivors and refuge centres which may include household items and crisis packs of personal care items.

LITTLE FRIENDS
Aims to ensure that child survivors are not disadvantaged in the transition to a safe environment by supplying items designed to provide comfort and educational support.

LITTLE FRIENDS SCHOLARSHIPS
We provide monetary scholarships to children who have faced Domestic and Family Violence throughout Australia. These scholarships give these children the ability to either further their education and/or participate in extra-curricula activities that they may not be able to pursue due to the financial impact of Domestic and Family Violence within their family environment.

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENTS
We work to encourage individuals, groups and organisations to Step Up and become part of the solution, Speak Out against domestic violence and assist in providing Support to adults and children.
