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 Sydney.

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.

There was no one asking questions or supporting our family. My mother was isolated and alone and would ‘tell’ her story matter of fact, and others would listen without intervention. No one asked ‘what about the kids.

These women believed me. I was told I was crazy for 12 months and they believed me. 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.

WHAT WE SEE

We see beyond the sleepover in cars and understand the underlying issues.

After escaping family violence, a parent and their child have nowhere safe to stay and are
currently waiting for refuge accommodation.
