And that is a wrap for 2026 programs! What an amazing year it has been for Project Pink 🙌🏼

As we celebrate our women graduating from Project Pink, we couldn't be prouder of the courage, strength and growth they have shown.

Over the past 12 weeks, these women have done so much more than learn boxing and self-defence. They have challenged themselves, built confidence, supported one another and reminded us of the power of women coming together to heal, grow and create a stronger community.

A huge thank you to our incredible sponsors, donors, volunteers and supporters for believing in our vision and helping us make it happen. Your generosity allows us to create opportunities for women to feel supported, valued and empowered.

And to our graduating women, thank you for trusting us and allowing us to be part of your journey. We are so proud of you and everything you have achieved. 💗

This is what Project Pink is about: hope beyond domestic violence, strength through connection, and a community where women can heal, grow and thrive.

Here's to the women we've supported, the community we've built, and the lives we'll continue to impact together!

Last Friday we had the pleasure of having Veronika from Alman Partners True Wealth come visit and chat to us about finances, budgeting and connecting the dots between your emotions, thoughts and your relationship with money.

We are so grateful for Veronika's time, wealth of knowledge of 15 years and the support of Alman partners.

Thank you! 🙏🏼

✨️ Supporter spotlight ✨️

Meet Sharon! This lovely lady has been a supporter since day 1 and jumped on board as a volunteer for our current cohort to look after the kiddies 🙌🏼

We have a beautiful community of mums and kids that attend our program so having someone donate their time for the kids has been amazing!

Sharon has her diploma in childcare and worked in childcare for about 8 years, as both an educator and a group leader.

She is now working with youth at IDEAL Placements, assisting young people into work or study. They help youth who are between 15- 24 yrs old building skills with one on one support, mentoring and with real opportunities to assist them make the next step.

Sharon says, "I decided to help Project Pink as I believe they do wonderful work, but I also think as a community, domestic violence is in every different society and community and needs to be talked about more openly. It used to be a forbidden topic. Project Pink is helping this happen."

We are so grateful to have had Sharon's help and the youth that she is working with that also kindly fundraised to help provide equipment for our program.

These are hands and feet doing the work in our community, thank you Sharon! 🫶🏼

💗 WHAT DOES PROJECT PINK DO?

We use boxing, self-defence, life skills and connection to help women affected by domestic violence rebuild confidence, strength and hope.

It’s about more than learning to throw a punch.
It’s about feeling strong again.
Finding your voice.
Building confidence.
And knowing you’re not alone. 🥊💗

We’re incredibly grateful to the sponsors who already stand behind Project Pink. Your support helps us create real change in the lives of women and girls.

But we want to reach more women and more families - and we can’t do that alone.

💗 WE NEED MORE SPONSORS.

If your business wants to make a genuine difference and help women move from surviving to thriving, we want you on our team.
Your business can help fund programs, create opportunities and be part of breaking the cycle of domestic violence.

Together, we can create hope beyond DV. 💗

Meet one of our mentors, Kayla! 👋🏼

This is Kayla's 3rd program with us, her first 2 as a participant. This one being a mentor for our other ladies. Our mentorship program is achieveable thanks to the generous funding from The Mackay community foundation.

Each week our mentors help set up, assist with boxing, organise food and coffee for group time, be a listening ear of support where needed and helping out in the community.

We are so proud of Kayla's achievements and are grateful to have her onboard as a mentor and as a part of our Project Pink community 🩷
