For hundreds of families each year, ReLove is turning empty houses into homes – and giving people escaping domestic and family violence a chance to rebuild their lives with dignity.
A purple velvet duvet. A scented candle. A piece of artwork. These simple choices might seem trivial when furnishing a home, but for survivors of domestic violence, the ability to choose represents something profound: the restoration of agency and self-worth. That's the message from Helping Hands panellists Ren Fernando (co-founder of ReLove), Steve Frost (founder and director of Horizons Family Law Centre), and Kate Fylan (family and domestic violence state manager at the Salvation Army).
Keith Garner, Collett Smart and Nathan Brewer join host Laura Bennett to discuss the benefits of being part of a vibrant and life-giving community to both the community and the individuals.
