Events
Our cornerstone annual events are critical fundraising drives and have developed a popular community following. The Annual Gala and Melbourne Cup Luncheon generate much-needed donations and raise awareness of the Shelter’s work.

More information
NBWS will be hosting a Melbourne Cup Lunch at the beautiful Gilberts Room, Novotel overlooking Manly Beach.
There will be a delicious 3 course meal and a glass of French champagne on arrival.
Our Melbourne Cup lunch is a fantastic event that brings our community together to raise much needed funds so that we can continue supporting homeless woman to rebuild their lives, reclaim their independence and re-join society.
Other Events
Our resources – human and otherwise – are extremely limited. We always warmly welcome and need our community to fundraise on our behalf.
Running an independent fundraising event at which NBWS is the ‘Charity of Choice’ is a very popular and straightforward vehicle for our supporters.
All you need is a great idea and passion for our cause. Plan a fundraising event with friends, community group, sporting club or work colleagues – big or small.
It is often best to plan an activity that you enjoy or are already undertaking on a regular basis.
Fundraising ideas include:
- Long lunches
- Raffles
- Fun runs
- Ocean swims
- Bake sales
- Golf days
- Afternoon teas
- Market stalls
- Literary High Teas
