The Bayside community turned out in force to support Council’s Walk Against Domestic and Family Violence on Saturday 23 November.
Councillors, Federal and State MPs, community groups, schools, sporting teams and members of the St George Police Area Command joined the 1.5km foreshore march from Ramsgate Life Saving Club to Depena Reserve.
The walk ended with a community sausage sizzle and the opportunity to hear from several advocates sharing their stories and expertise.
Council works with key partners including NSW Police, Bay City Care, Bayside Women’s Shelter, Advance Diversity Services, Sydney Multicultural Services, South Eastern Community Connect and other local groups and services.
1800RESPECT is available for free, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to support people impacted by domestic, family or sexual violence.
Mayor Edward McDougall said
“I would like to thank everyone who joined us for our annual community walk against family and domestic violence,” Mayor McDougall said.
“I am proud that Council continues to support this important cause to create a safer community for everyone.”
