Little Manly Precincts Raises $6,600 for Women's Shelter

Resident members of the Little Manly Precinct have got behind the Manly Women’s Shelter and raised $6,600 over the weekend by selling raffle tickets, receiving a generous cheque from a local family, and holding a community dinner on Sunday  night (21st August) at the Manly Yacht Club.

This is in addition to $520 raised in May when a team from the Little Manly Precinct competed in the Rotary Fun Run.

With the support of Manly Council, they sold tickets in the Corso on Saturday morning and were touched by the number of men who supported the Shelter by buying tickets.  They then held a community Paella night, complete with authentic music being streamed live from a radio station in Mexico via the internet!

The precinct has also been instrumental in creating ‘Welcome Home’ packs which contain toilettes and items the women need when they arrive at the Shelter. So far 30 packs have been created from donations of items, with a further 50 to come.

Great work everyone!
