Christmas Gift Giving 2024

 

This year Soroptimist International Beenleigh seek your help.  This image is just some of the hampers delivered Christmas 2022

IMG 6380 conv2
For over 20 years Soroptimist International Beenleigh have been providing food hampers at Christmas time to families, pensioners and seniors, single parents with families. These food hampers are valued and provide necessary food items at a time when budgets are stretched. The smiles on the people receiving these gifts show how much these are valued. As Soroptimist Beenleigh have been gifting food hampers over such a long time, many organisations and people know of this and this year the list of people requesting food hampers due to the rising cost of living has increased beyond what we as a organisation can provide via the funds we have raised during the year. If you can spare $20.00 it would mean feeding a family for several days.

 Art Therapy Workshops

Domestic violence, specifically, that which is perpetrated against women and children, causes physical, mental, and emotional trauma, resulting in a variety of pervasive injuries and disorders.  Art Therapy provides the children and mothers a way to work through their mental and emotional issue with a trained counsellor and aids in the healing process. 

SI Beenligh provides the funding for several art therapy workshops throughout the year.


Personal Hygiene Packs, 

SI Beenleigh provides personal hygiene packs to schools in the Beenleigh District, these hygiene packs enable female high school students to attend school with dignity.   Disadvantaged students cannot afford menstrual pads or tampons and the provision of these items by members of Soroptimist International of Beenleigh provide the students with the knowledge they can concentrate on school and not on making excuses as to why they are not at school.


16 Days of Activism against gender violence

Soroptimist International Beenleigh works actively throughout the year on advocacy and projects to end gender based violence.  SI Beenleighis a member of Not Now Not Ever in Logan community group.  

Whilst the club organises a variety of projects and activities to assist domestic violence victims and their families.  The major project is to work actively over the United Nations dedicated 16 Days of Activism against gender based violence.  Look out for our facebook posts and other information on activism activities you can join with us.  Encourage others to break their silence as we partner together to raise awareness, and importantly remember the victims and survivors of domestic violence.
