50's Retro Dinner Party for Open Haven (private invite only)

Enjoy an evening of vintage 50's glam and style while sharing a wonderful 1950's inspired degustation menu including wines and cocktails. Your host Elizabeth will be taking you back in time for a great night or retro music and costumes so do jump right into the theme and come dressed to impress. Blue suede shoes perhaps or some rockerbilly chic? A little bit of Marilyn Munroe or Grace Kelly glamour or some James Dean or John Travolta sex appeal its all up to you. 

Proceeds from the evening are given to Open Haven to continue their great work. 

Open Haven is a registered charity that provides a safe and confidential place for women who are  survivors of domestic violence.

Our vision is that every woman is valued and empowered into a supportive community. We strive for this vision by mobilising and harnessing the community to provide essential skills and long term support in order to help rebuild their lives.

We create a personalised plan that sets them on a path of empowerment. Through this plan, we provide long term coordinated support for the women, services such as: Driving lessons, English and literacy classes, access to child psychologists, lawyers and health providers, help moving house, toiletries, clothing, Food and Fuel vouchers, child care support, and advocate to sit with them in the courtroom,a spokesperson to organise a rental property with an estate agent, help with writing a resume, help gaining a skill/qualification and finding employment. The potential list is endless but Open Haven always finds a way to meet these requirements, and at all times, at no cost to the woman.Our relationship remains open at all times, and does not end until the day they say to us, I'm good, I'm ready. This journey could be 6 months, a year or 2 years.

We help transform lives by gently setting the women on a path of independence and self sufficiency.

Currently, all of these services are run out of a hub in Balmoral/Bulimba and we are very excited to replicate the work we are doing by setting up another hub in Logan so that hundreds more women and children can be reached, and their lives transformed. As little as $50,000 per annum will enable us to set this up.

My Giving Table is committed to assisting Open Haven reach this goal and this lovely event hosted by Elizabeth will help tremendously.

All funds are tracable and collected in compliance with fundraising codes and the Office of Fair Trade requirements.
