Donations Policy
Beryl Women Inc. offers an increased quality of service to our clients through the incredibly generous donations we receive from the community. We are thankful for the amazing work of our private donors and community partners who contribute in a wide variety of ways.
Please note, we do not accept material donations delivered to Beryl Women Inc., unless by prior arrangement with our staff. As Beryl Women Inc. is a Domestic and Family Violence crisis service, there is a considerable risk to safety of volunteers attending our premises. Our staff can arrange to collect donations directly from community organisations or other safe locations.
Additionally, Beryl Women Inc. does not have storage space to store donations for future clients. Therefore, we may refuse to accept donations such as clothing, linen or children’s toys which currently don’t fit with the needs of our clients.
If you wish to make a material donation to Beryl, please contact our admin staff at (02) 6230 6900 or by email at admin@beryl.org.au. If you are unable to reach us directly by phone, please leave a message on our answering machine and we will get back to you as soon as we are able.
Thank you
Your support makes all the difference for the women and children we provide a service for every year.
Thanks to your donation, Beryl can continue to provide further practical support for women and their children in our accommodation and outreach programs.
This may include mobile phones, food vouchers, petrol vouchers, bus tickets and children’s school necessities.
In addition, our service will be able to provide more outings and events for mums and their children.
Beryl is Australia’s longest-running specialist domestic violence refuge and uses its strong expertise to provide valuable sector training and guest speaking to organisations, businesses, and communities.
A number of individuals and organisations across the ACT and region have supported the work of Beryl Women Inc. through donations of cash and household items. Beryl would not only like to thank these people but celebrate their spirit of sharing, support and generosity. The donations received have made a number of women’s lives easier and we all thank you.
