OVERVIEW

When a woman or child escaping family violence arrives at Women’s Refuge, the first thing they need is a bed. So, for the 2024 Women’s Refuge winter fundraising appeal we didn’t just ask for money, we opened a bed shop.

Through print, video and online, we played off bed shop clichés to promote the initiative. Props for each display highlighted different services that Women’s Refuge offer those under their care.
