Impact for Women
Impact for Women provides hope to women and children escaping
domestic violence.
You can change someones life
Your donations to Impact for woman can have a profound effect on someone who has experince domestic vololence
Since 2006 Impact has been making a difference to Victorian women and children fleeing extreme violence at home. Through our activities we provide badly needed essentials together with the knowledge that someone cares.
From a friend’s living room of our founder Kathy Kaplan OAM to a volunteer-operated organisation with thousands of volunteers, Impact supports thousands of women at their most difficult of times.
How we make an impact
Bags of Love
A gift at their lowest moment – essentials, toiletries, make-up, gifts and the knowledge that someone cares.
Programs
Impact run a variety of programs which support the wellbeing and safety of women.
Volunteer & Events
Impact offers many volunteering opportunities during the year for family, friends and colleagues. You can also arrange a presentation from Impact for your business or community.
One woman is killed every week by a current or former partner in Australia and 1 in 3 women will experience some form of physical abuse in their lives. But escaping from these dire situations isn’t a simple decision.
Children in the home and financial dependence are but two reasons that make leaving seem impossible. When women do make that difficult choice, without external support they can find themselves alone and on the streets.
