Acland Street Village

Fancy a winter walk along St Kilda pier? ( pic from ye olde days pre rebuild )

Are you a rug up in your puffer jacket and winter woolies and get out there type of person? ❄️🐧

Or are you a `no walking for me`, it`s strictly jigsaws under the blankie on the couch on weekends, type?

GATEHOUSE❄️ ♀️ WINTER APPEAL is here!

While we’re all feeling the sharp pinch of winter now, spare a thought for those who rely on the incredible services of St Kilda Gatehouse.

Donations are currently being sought—and there`s a reason this organisation matters so much.

St Kilda Gatehouse is one of the few places where vulnerable women can count on life’s smallest comforts that mean everything: a hot cup of tea, a warm shower, a blanket on a couch. More than that, it’s a space where they can feel safe—safe from the cold, and safe from despair.

Here’s how just a few dollars can make a real difference:

❄️Access to a hot cup of tea, nutritious meal, and a listening ear
❄️Providing opportunities for a hot shower and essential winter items
❄️Providing safe spaces of rest and care involving informal counselling
❄️ Providing intentional trauma informed support unique to an individual`s needs ❄️Cash amounts to be distributed where it is most needed, such as keeping the lights on and kettle boiling!

To donate NOW follow the link via @stkildagatehouse

A diamond in the rough? You bet!
