Almost $100,000 in savings through Connecting Up has helped the Centre for Non-Violence in its work to provide crisis response, case management, advocacy and therapeutic services to women and children experiencing family violence and at risk of homelessness.
That’s according to Centre for Non-Violence CEO Margaret Augerinos, whose organisation has supported around 3,000 people from five office locations in the Loddon Region of Victoria over the past 12 months.
Those services have been boosted by donated and discounted products through Connecting Up that include Zoom, Microsoft 365 and Adobe Creative Cloud.
These are vital technology resources that have ensured continuity of support for the Centre’s clients, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic,” says Margaret.
“Every extra dollar we have to spend on these items means less is available for the important community services we deliver.
