We support Frida Hartley Charity
Your generous gift makes a positive difference in their lifes of others.

FHS was started almost a century ago, in 1922, and initially catered for single mothers who suffered cultural stigma due to views at the time around unmarried pregnancy. It was entered into the registry in December 2001 as a non-profit organisation with the sole purpose of providing a safe haven where inner-city homeless women and children can be rehabilitated.

The Shelter provides a home environment where women work together on domestic chores, cleaning, and cooking while receiving training and support to seek employment and independence. On average, women and their children stay at the shelter for 3 – 6 months, with many offering part-time volunteer support, and counselling once they have left the shelter. Over 1000 women and children have been helped at Shelter.
