On Sunday 24 October, over 80 Allambi staff and family turned out to support the crew from Got Your Back Sista at the 'I Run For Her' event in Newcastle. Staff took part in either the 10km run or 7km walk in a bid to say NO to domestic violence. After the run everyone stayed around to enjoy a sausage sizzle and some great tunes from the Raggle Taggle Gypsies.
Got Your Back Sista offers benevolent relief and support to women and children escaping domestic violence and are at risk of living below the poverty line. They give a hand up for families to begin again and live independently.
Got Your Back Sista provides a pathway from refuge accommodation to sustainable independent housing, living and employment. The charity is focussed on providing these services within the Hunter, Central Coast and Manning Regions with a look to expand to providing services throughout NSW in the next 12months.
