Basic needs put lives on track

A DANDENONG networking night will help women and children rebuild their lives after family violence.
Maurice Blackburn’s annual women’s networking function at the Drum Theatre on 8 October collected bed linen, towels and pillows.
The urgently-needed items will go to McAuley Community Services for Women.
Guests also heard from Dandenong magistrate Pauline Spencer who presented on innovative ways for dealing with family violence offenders to help break the cycle of violence.
