ON December 8, the Maleny Baptist Church in collaboration with the Speak Up Now – Stop Domestic & Family Violence – Maleny & Blackall Range group, unveiled the thirteenth Red Bench in Maleny and on the Sunshine Coast Hinterland.
The event was also supported by DV Safe Phone, the Red Rose Foundation Australia and Division 5 Cr Winston Johnston OAM.
The Red Bench sits beneath a beautiful tree and is soon to be surrounded by a bed of flowers, making it a perfect location for anyone to sit and contemplate and also to have conversations about how together we can all ‘Change the Ending”.
Thank you to everyone at the church for making this red bench happen, and to everyone working towards ending DFV in our community
