Bondi Black Tie Beach Party

This year’s YWCA NSW fundraiser, Black Tie at Bondi, was a great success and despite continuing difficult economic circumstances, raised $230,000 for the valuable work that YWCA NSW performs in disadvantaged communities. This will include YWCA NSW’s Mentoring Programs in Campbelltown and Sydney Metro, which improve young people’s self esteem and enable them to deal with anger management and conflict resolution in their relationships with their family and peers as well as improve their performance at school. Without this funding, these programs would cease to run inside the next 6 months. In 2008-9, YWCA NSW impacted over 35,000 people across NSW and the money raised on Saturday will go a long way towards helping reach that number again over the next 12 months.
