Have you planned your end-of-year celebration?

The Barnardos Amazing Race is an alternative to the traditional end-of-year get together and a unique way to gather your friends or colleagues to have fun, all whilst supporting vulnerable children and families.

The Barnardos Amazing Race will take place on the 27th November in five different locations: Sydney, Melbourne, Canberra, Brisbane and Wollongong.

All proceeds raised from the event will support Barnardos programs and services, which provide assistance to children and families impacted by the devastating effects of domestic violence, such as isolation, financial instability, mental health issues and homelessness.

This year we invite you to participate in the Barnardos Amazing Race, as a way to support families escaping DFV, empower survivors, normalise the conversation and give children a voice.

I wouldn’t be where I am now without it, I think it hindsight I probably would have gone back to him, it would have been easier to go back to him. But I’ve done the hard thing, I haven’t gone back. We get to be safe, and we get to stay safe, and that cycle ends with him.
