Next month (May) is Domestic/Family Violence Prevention Month. In an attempt to raise awareness of this we are undertaking weekly walks in different areas of Torquay and Jan Juc.
  • Week 1 - 7th May - Meeting at Ginger Monkey in Baines Court at 1000 am. The walk will be around Baines Court and down to Spring Creek. On returning to Baines Court you are all welcome to finish the walk of with a well deserved coffee at the Ginger Monkey.
  • Week 2 - 14th May - will be along the waterfront, meeting at 1000am. The meeting point will be decided at the first walk. Maybe your favourite Coffee Shop
  • Week 3 - 21st May - will be through the Gilbert Street area, including Bristol Road and Bell Street area. The commencement point will be decided the week before. 
  • Week 4 - 28th May meeting at 1000am will be around the Jan Juc area. We will decide on a starting point the week before - maybe for those who are fit enough we could include the steps!!
If you have a purple Say No to Domestic Violence T-Shirt please wear it. If you don't have one then, could you please wear a purple top. There may be a spare SNDV top. Gail Birchall will have any spare tops for the first 2 walks. If you have a top but won't be walking, could you possibly loan them to someone who is walking? Thank you.
Gail will also have Business Cards and brochures from The Orange Door. These can be left at the Coffee Shop you finish the walk at, if they are happy to have them sitting on the counter.
 
Let's see if our awareness walk can help at least one person escape from Domestic Violence. 
 
If you have any queries, please contact me before lunch on Friday. Otherwise I will see you for walks 3 and 4. Enjoy the exercise and friendship. You are doing an amazing thing by increasing the awareness.
 
Kind Regards
Linda
