The Loving Heart Foundation Australia is a non-government, not-for-profit private Community organisation that is currently based in the Southern Downs region of Queensland. We are committed to the prevention and elimination of all forms of violence from intimidation and harassment to domestic violence and sexual assault.
Our aim in the near future is to work in a preventative manner to educate people on how not to get into such a situation in the first place. In order to do this, we need to educate young adults on how to make better choices and how to resolve conflict in relationships. Sometimes it’s just better to walk away from an argument and cool down.
At the moment we work to enhance safety and provide awareness so that date rape, rape, and domestic violence will not occur. However, if domestic violence is not able to be prevented, we will provide emergency accommodation so that women, children, and companion animals can leave a violent situation safely.
We also provide income training for the women whom we assist. Once a woman is safe, she’ll be given the opportunity to learn how to support herself and her children. This is so that she never has to return to the same kind of situation again. We have training manuals already written and a website that is in development that will assist with these things.
Then we aim to provide justice for abuse victims by supporting and building upon the services already available. Those services provided by the network of local programs available everywhere. ♥
Currently, we assist in the creation of a loving family environment by providing educational material at our blog site at Love, Honour, and Respect. We work towards educating the readers of our blog and those who visit our video site (along with those whom we assist), to know how to create a loving bond and a happy home.
Where this isn’t possible and where there is violence, we aim to provide emergency accommodation in our local area for mothers, children, and their beloved companion animals to live in, so that they are able to leave the environment that is detrimental to their well-being.
Another of our goals is to provide all New South Wales victims of domestic violence (whom we assist) with an SOS device. This will alert authorities of any dangerous situations that arise. When an ex breaks their AVO, a frightened woman needs to be able to alert those who can help. This includes whenever her ex stalks, visits, or intrudes upon the property that she lives in with her children. We’ll be able to provide more help for mothers and children with this SOS device. It doesn’t require such a huge investment on our part.
Our not-for-profit, non-government, private Community Foundation has several online businesses being developed at the moment with the proceeds being used to run our foundation. We’d really appreciate your kind support by using one of our online services. Or, shop with us at our retail stores.
Volunteers are always in demand; even five minutes can be helpful! Please let us know if you can help. ♥
