Nelson Women’s and Children’s Refuge is a not for profit organisation, and every little bit counts.

Your support helps to prevent and eliminate domestic violence. You can make monetary donations, ‘Gift a Safe Night‘ for a women or child in need or donate other goods (see below for donation FAQs on what we can accept). With monetary donations you can choose how much or how little you want to donate. We also offer recurring donations where you can choose to donate the same amount every month.

Donation FAQs

We get asked frequently about how people can help through donations. Please read the below carefully so we can support women and children in the best possible way, and ensure your donation is put to the best possible use.

  • We accept vouchers and cash.
  • Donations of clothing, toys etc are much appreciated as long as they are clean, and a genuine donation i.e not just old items you do not want to take to the landfill.
  • Food donations are gratefully received and are of immediate help for whanau. The best food donations are tinned and packaged foods so that they don’t perish before going to a needy family.

Yes, these are greatly appreciated but must be canned or non-perishable unless by prior arrangement.

We cannot do our jobs without the help of our volunteers they are frontline trained responders for family violence in crisis. We are always looking for volunteers so that there is enough cover and so that we can be as diverse as possible for the whanau that utilise our services.

We are really needing help to staff our volunteer crisisline. Please get in touch with us today admin@whakaturefuge.org.nz

Gift a Safe Night

Every night, over 200 women in New Zealand need a safe place to escape to.

One night of safety at Women’s Refuge for a woman and child costs just $20 and includes a clean safe bed, secure transport, hot meals, supportive staff, 24/7 crisis line and helpful advice.

We also appreciate monetary donations. Nelson Women’s and Children’s Refuge is a not for profit organisation, so every little bit counts.

Our vision is for all women and their tamariki to live free from domestic and family violence.  Our services are offered across the Nelson / Tasman / Golden Bay and Murchison areas. There is no part of our region that is too remote for us to help you.
