Women's Refuge - Love Grace Handbag Appeal

Between June & July 2022 BNZ was running a “Love Grace Handbag Appeal” to collect handbag donations filled with essential items for Women’s Refuge.

Women’s refuge is Aotearoa, New Zealand’s largest non-government organisation dedicated to the prevention of domestic violence. They deal with providing safe housing to women and children in crisis as well as supporting women living within the community.

TEAM IM New Zealand helped contribute ten brand new handbags filled with essential items for women escaping domestic violence situations. These were dropped off at Willis Street BNZ, Wellington.

Each handbag contains 10 sets of toothbrushes, toothpastes, deodorant, soaps, tampons & overnight pads, tissues, 2n1 shampoo/conditioner, and sanitisers.

This is a worthy cause that is close to my heart, and I am grateful to our small Wellington team at TEAM IM who contributed to this cause.
