Free Community Lunch: Presenting…A helpline for ALL women

February 6th, 2018 | Events, News

Life can get overwhelming sometimes. So, this International Women’s Day, we invite you to join us for some delicious (and free!) lunch to encourage the spirit of seeking help and support.

Date: 10 March 2018
Time: 1pm – 4pm
Venue: Blk 3A Dover Crescent, Singapore 131003

Our Women’s Helpline is expanding to meet the needs of all women. Meet staff and volunteers from the Women’s Helpline and learn more about our free services for women – including our counselling, legal clinic and support group services. Take part in fun and easy quizzes and games to win prizes (including vouchers for free counselling!). Head over to our swap to pick up secondhand books, toys, clothes, electronic items and many more!

1pm – 4pm
Lunchtime Chat 

Meet and chat with our staff and volunteers over lunch to find out more about how AWARE’s free services can support you if you are going through a tough time – whether it is at home, at work, with your partner, or with your friends.

2pm – 3pm
Talk: Women Standing Tall & Supporting Each Other

Hear Kim Underhill, President of Daughters Of Tomorrow (DOT), share her own experiences with seeking support as a survivor of domestic violence and as a single parent. Kim Underhill is a highly engaged member in both business and women’s empowerment communities. She now shares her vast experience through keynote speaking, management consulting, coaching, and learning and development programmes, helping individuals and businesses alike see the intrinsic potential in themselves and their people.

1pm – 4pm
Clothes & Books Swap

Have heaps of pre-loved items that take way too long to sell on Carousell? Running out of places to go thrift shopping? Come drop by our clothes and books swap! Bring any items in good and clean condition – books, clothes, toys, electronics, etc. on the day or drop them off earlier at Blk 5 Dover Crescent. Write to us at wecan@aware.org.sg to arrange a drop off before the event day.
