Red Bench Project
The Red Rose Foundation launched the Red Bench Project to build a permanent reminder that domestic violence occurs within all of our communities. The presence of a Red Bench in a public location aims to raise community awareness and provide an opportunity for this important issue to remain visible. It is the aim of the Red Rose Foundation to have at least one Red Bench in every local government area in Queensland. Townsville has gone a step further and installed a Red Bench in every division, including two in division three to include Magnetic Island, with the inaugural red bench located at Townsville City Council.
For further information on ways you can support the organisation, or to install a Red Bench at your own workplace, visit Red Rose Foundation - Red Bench website.
