💌We would like to cordially invite everyone to an 🌃💖 𝓾𝓷𝓯𝓸𝓻𝓰𝓮𝓽𝓽𝓪𝓫𝓵𝓮 🌃💖 night, consisting of a 7-course meal😋, alongside various forms of 🪩entertainment🪩, with all proceeds going to our charity of choice.💌

Our Theme: 🌤️𝒜 𝒥𝑜𝓊𝓇𝓃𝑒𝓎 𝑜𝒻 𝐻𝑜𝓅𝑒🌤️

This year, our Charity Dinner theme is "A Journey of Hope.”🫶 For the first time, we will be collaborating with a 𝓁𝑜𝒸𝒶𝓁 charity very close to home, to run a project that aims to empower our community with the skills and knowledge to stand up against domestic violence 🏡

Through this ✨𝑪𝒉𝒂𝒓𝒊𝒕𝒚 𝑫𝒊𝒏𝒏𝒆𝒓✨, we aspire to be a catalyst for positive change🤗, symbolising our journey toward fostering 𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒑𝒂𝒔𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 and 𝖘𝖚𝖕𝖕𝖔𝖗𝖙 for women and children affected by violence. Our goal is to infuse their lives with renewed 🧡hope and resilience🧡, paving the way for a brighter future.

Our Charity and Project:

This year, for the first time ever we are partnering up with a local charity based in our own local community. Zen Tea Lounge Foundation is based in Smithfield and supports the empowerment of those affected by domestic violence, abuse, and isolation offering a secure environment through their Smithfield social enterprises and wellness classes. Their mission is to provide women the tools they need to take charge of their life and make necessary changes.

VSA NSW will be using Charity Dinner to help fundraise in implementing the “Empower and Protect: Child Resilience Against Violence” Project. This project is very close to home, with the increasing incidents of domestic and sexual violence within our community, it highlights the urgent need for targeted intervention. With the help of Zen Tea Lounge Foundation as the facilitators, all money raised by VSA NSW’s Charity Dinner 2024 will be given to fund this life changing project.

This initiative aims to deliver crucial educational workshops to 200 children and their parents in our community, focusing on healthy boundaries, body safety, emotional resilience and violence prevention.
