Community Initiatives and Advocacy for DV Victims

Mobile phones for survivors of Domestic Violence

Have you got an old, operational mobile phone you no longer need? Donate it to help a DV Victim!

The Rotary Club of North Ryde have collaborated with DVSafePhone, to collect old, functioning phones and provide them free as essential lifelines to domestic violence survivors.

Phones can be placed in a box located near the Cox’s Road Fruit Market at Cox’s Road Mall, North Ryde.

For further information please contact Bob on 0403 003 257 or email northryderotary@gmail.com.
