Support The Girls Australia Comes To Hawkesbury

Support The Girls Australia is a charity that was birthed from a desire to do something practical to ensure that women of all ages were treated with dignity and respect, and shown that they were valued.

How do they do it?

With a simple morning tea, a lovely care bag gift and a professionally fitted bra.

That’s right - bra.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and the work that Support The Girls Australia does a brilliant job of connecting with women, particularly those women who need a bit of a helping hand.

Support The Girls Australia was at St Andrew's Richmond this week, connecting with women over a delicious morning tea, a small care pack and a complimentary bra fitted by a professional.

Member for Macquarie, Susan Templeman was at the latest event and thanked the founder and CEO of Support The Girls Australia, Jane Holmes for her efforts.
