Open Support

Open Support has formed a new partnership with the St Vincent's Curran Foundation!  It will enable both organisations to work together to secure much needed funds to support the services Open Support delivers to some of Sydney's most vulnerable. We are looking forward to working with the Curran Foundation team and supporters to ensure that Open Support's core services across: - crisis accommodation and long-term support for women and children fleeing domestic violence - community connection programs for the socially isolated and lonely; will continue to be delivered to the highest standards. Safety, improved mental and physical health, empowerment and independence is our goal for all clients. #grateful #workingtogether #teamwork  St Vincent's Curran Foundation St Vincent's Health Australia St Vincent's Private Hospital Sydney St Vincents Clinic Katie Viviers Ruth Molloy Gail Hambly Erica Schuman Mona Karam Shanthini Naidoo FFIA CFRE

Open Support were recently delighted to attend the CLUBGrants Presentation for Fairfield City Council at Cabra Vale Diggers! Open Support is the fortunate recipient of a grant that will assist with the provision of food, groceries and basic household kitchen items for women and their children who are fleeing domestic violence and bravely becoming independent.  When you flee with nothing you need assistance to recover and then set up a new home. Thank you Cabra Vale Diggers and Fairfield City Council! Your generosity will go directly to our clients in Western Sydney who need it most. #supportsurvivors #enddomesticabuse #grateful #westernsydney #cabramatta #cabravalediggersclub #localcommunitysupport #localcommunity #yourlocalclub Cabra-Vale Diggers Group Open Support Fairfield City Council WALTER ROBINSON Shayne-Anne O'Leary Katie Viviers Ruth Molloy Nathan Nute St Vincent's Health Australia St Vincent's Curran Foundation St Vincent's Private Hospital Sydney
