Stories
Womens Safety Services donation

Women’s Safety Services SA (WSSSA) supports women and their children who are experiencing domestic and family violence. We are an organisation committed to helping people find safety and support during and after experiencing abuse.

WSSSA has a range of programs and services over numerous sites to assist people in South Australia.

When you contact us, whether through the Domestic Violence Crisis Line or one of our programs directly, we will believe you, hear your story, talk with you about your concerns, work with you to understand your risk, hear from you about what you want and support your safety.

We believe all women and children have the right to live safely in their homes, and that experiencing domestic and family violence is a fundamental breach of human rights. We advocate for all perpetrators of violence to be held accountable for their actions.

Most of all, we believe domestic violence is everyone’s business and that all levels of society must work together to strive for its elimination.

 
 
President Rosie picked WSSA as her choice of charity for her presidential year. A worthy and fitting cause.

HeartKids BBQ
Our regular monthly BBQ at Bunnings was quiet but steady.
 
We're still waiting on settlement of expenses, but atm receipts are over $900! Well done to all.
 
Unfortunately we only had one rep from HeartKids, Susannah for the afternoon shift. Their other volunteers were hit with illness.
 
It was a warm day, about 11 trays plus a reasonable number of drinks. A good warm up for Tuesday's BBQ at West Lakes Shore School.
Rotary Says No to Domestic Violence

The "Say No to Domestic Violence" march that took place from Victoria Square to the Torrens Parade Ground on Saturday 25 November, was a great success. Rotarians and other community organisations came together to raise awareness and stand united against domestic violence. The enthusiastic representation from Rotarians highlighted the collective strength and spirit of Rotary in advocating for social causes and contributing to positive change.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
We even got some TV coverage by Channel 9 on both the Saturday and Sunday 9News at 6pm!
Tracey, Kerry, Rosie (holding the banner) and Alison leading the march with District Governor,
Craig Dowling and MP, Katrine Hildyard.

Rotary SA Centenary
Let's celebrate a century of Rotary in South Australia with lunch on the 4th of February 2024 at the William Magarey Room, Adelaide Oval.
 
This very special lunch will be a celebration of the people of Rotary, Rotaract and Interact that have made up the rich and diverse tapestry of Rotary in South Australia and the current District 9510. Guests will include members past and present from around Australia and the world. Everyone is invited to come and hear about the story of Rotary in South Australia.

The event will be held 100 years to the day from when the first Rotary Club in South Australia, the Rotary Club of Adelaide was officially chartered by Rotary International on 4 February 1924. This was the start of the Rotary movement in South Australia.

Today there are around 2,200 Rotary, Rotaract and Interact members in over 90 Clubs across South Australia and District 9510.

 What you can expect

  • Amazing guests and speakers
  • Dynamic entertainment
  • Magnificent food
  • Fabulous company
  • A Rotary experience on a grand scale

Please register by Sunday 28 January 2024. Unfortunately no late bookings will be accepted.

$80.00 includes a 2 course meal, coffee, tea, guest speakers and entertainment. Drinks are at own cost and available from the bar. Adelaide Oval is a cashless venue, so card payments only. 

Rotary centenary merchandise will be available for purchase.
