Bring your old phones to the breakfast and help women experiencing domestic violence
We are asking people attending this year’s International Women’s Day to bring their
old mobile phone (or phones) with them and donate it to the DV Safe Phone charity.
DV Safe Phone has provided over 16,000 pre used phones to people suffering domestic violence. It’s common for DV perpetrators to take, break or monitor their
victim’s phones to isolate them from family, friends and support services.
DV Safe Phone collects old phones, wipes all information, repairs them and
distributes free phones to organisations like Police Stations & women’s refuges, which give them to victims of domestic violence. For more information on how DV Safe Phone helps people in need, follow this link to a short video – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4bf4uzQIIdw
This is an easy way for you to help someone who could be in danger. We will have a collection box for old phones at the breakfast, so please bring your old phone with you.
Guest speaker
Kate Toon is an award-winning author, speaker, educator and podcast host, known for making complex ideas clearer, more accessible, and entirely human. From her much-loved backyard office shed, she has built communities that help tens of thousands of people grow confidence, capability and agency in how they work and show up in the world.
Kate is the author of Six Figures in School Hours, which explores sustainable success alongside motherhood. She is the founder of several nationally recognised education platforms, including The Recipe for SEO Success and the Digital Marketing Collective, and in more recent times is the proud owner of a Umina Beach Book Nook – a local bookshop where community connections are at the heart of everything she does. Her work encourages women to break down barriers, amplify their voice, and stand confidently in spaces that haven’t always been designed for them.
In her talk, Kate will share how personal branding can act as your shield, helping women navigate male-dominated spaces, claim authority, and project their strengths with clarity and impact. Warm, witty and practical, she inspires audiences to own their story, step into their power, and be seen and heard on their own terms.
