Knights $5K support empowers DV victims
THE Caboolture Knights of the Southern Cross have generously donated $5,000 to Coast2Bay Housing Group to fund a women-led project designed to support those who have experienced domestic and family violence.
The initiative focuses on regular meetings where Coast2Bay women can build friendships, provide peer support, and share personal experiences.
The group of women is passionate about helping each other rebuild their lives, focusing on personal development, confidence building, and advocating for better responses to support victims of domestic violence.
Many of the women have enrolled in accredited training, using their lived experiences to help guide others towards safety and healing.
The $5,000 donation from the Caboolture Knights will allow the project to continue evolving, with new collaborative activities and initiatives that ensure members feel valued and supported.
The women involved expressed their gratitude, with one member saying, “I’m so ecstatic for this funding and opportunity. It’s literally a stepping stone to achieving my dreams to help guide women to a better life.”
The group is also set to participate in the Moreton Bay Says No 2 Violence Walk and Speaker Event on May 30, further raising awareness and advocating for change.
This peaceful walk is an opportunity for individuals, businesses, and community organisations to join with Moreton Bay Council to ‘raise their voice against domestic violence’.

The Knights’ donation is part of a three-year commitment to support the initiative.
