“I have real fears that Raven won’t be able to continue, which I think for Ballarat women who are survivors of domestic and family violence I think it would be a huge loss to our community,” she said.

To donate or buy a hamper, head to the Raven Collective website and if you need immediate support, contact 1800 RESPECT on 1800 737 732.
