For the month of November, we want to raise awareness and work together to end all forms of violence including family harm, elder and child abuse, sexual assault, gang violence, and more. These victimisations affect us all and can have lasting effects that spill into our everyday lives including at work and school.
To do your part this month, perhaps consider supporting a women’s refuge or work with Police in your area to host an info night on how to identify elder or child abuse in your community. This month’s campaign also coincides with White Ribbon Day on 25 November which is an internationally celebrated day that aims to prevent violence towards women.
Let us know how you’re spreading the ‘It’s Not OK’ message in your home or in your community by tagging us in your posts + using the following hashtag so we can see what you get up to:

Is there any interest for an occasional get together for a social group ride to "points of interest" , share some company and stories over a coffee & a bun....whatever? I'm up for a, say, once a month, maybe more often, get together on a Saturday or Sunday, perhaps, or, as I'm long retired any day pretty much. Let me know if there's any interest.
