You Can Help
The Safe Space program is funded by the State Government. However, there are still a number of ways that you can support the people who access Safe Space:
-
Financial donations to our Emergency Relief program. Many of the clients who stay at Safe Space regularly use Emergency Relief, as well as other families struggling to make ends meet in our community – make a donation online, or call (03) 6215 4200
-
Donate items such as toiletries, food and sleeping bags.
-
Volunteer to set up and pack down the Safe Space night program.
The Safe Night Space Program was developed through conversations with real people sleeping on the streets of Hobart.
Explore our program evaluation reports to see how we use evidence and data to refine and improve our services.
