“For a mature-aged woman, sleeping in the park for about eight months. Through this initiative, we’ve been able to find a safe location that met her needs.”
The homely setting of Protea Place Women’s Support Centre in Toowoomba is a dedicated safe space for any woman in need within the Darling Downs community.
At Protea Place, they understand that no two women are ever alike, so they walk alongside each woman to support her specific needs. Should she be experiencing homelessness, domestic violence or any other life trauma, the Protea Place team strives each day to be agile in their response to her needs.
Beddown is enormously proud to partner with Protea Place for The Good Night Initiative.
