SUPPORTING WOMEN AT CHRISTMAS

Share the Dignity is an Australian charity for women, that strives to make a real difference in the lives of those experiencing homelessness, fleeing domestic violence, or doing it tough. They distribute period products to women, girls, and anyone who menstruates who needs support.

Relying on donations, OneStreet St Ives organised a drive to help support the charity.
