The annual Coastal Walk Against Domestic and Family Violence returns this year, with community members invited to wear white and walk any part of the Coastal Walk from Lighthouse Beach to Westport Park on Sunday, November 28. Walkers can help raise awareness about domestic violence by wearing a white shirt and sharing a selfie on social media using the hashtags #CoastalWalkAgainstDFV #LibertyCoastalWalk and #WalkInWhite. Participants are encouraged to help raise much needed funds for local families supported by Liberty Domestic and Family Violence Specialist Services by donating or setting up a fundraising page at libertycoastalwalk.raisely.com Liberty CEO Kelly Lamb , said domestic and family violence in our community has been increasing at an alarming rate, and COVID-19 has further increased the incidents and complexity of violence locally over the past two years. âBy wearing white and participating in the Sunday 28 March with a group of friends, family or colleagues, you are taking important steps towards a safer community,â Ms. Lamb said. âAll funds raised will remain in our community and support local families through specialist outreach services, group work programs, emergency accommodation and our services in the outer areas of Port Macquarie Hastings. Liberty also emphasizes prevention and we see this popular annual event as an opportunity to educate the community on attitudes and beliefs conducive to violence. We have set up a quiz on our website and the answers will be posted along the Town Beach Coastal Walk in Westport Park. âIt means a lot to women and children who have experienced domestic violence to see their community stand up to support them, and it also means that there is never an excuse for abuse or violence, that it is physical, psychological or financial. âThere are no official start times or locations this year to distribute everyone throughout the day and keep the COVID community safe. Walkers must follow public health orders.
