Restoring Hope is a Melbourne based charity that helps young people who have been sexually abused. They are holding a fund raising golf day at the RACV Golf Club in Healsville on the 10 November.
The mission at Restoring Hope is to distribute Crisis Care Packs and Comfort Care Packs to young people who have been abused. Typically a child would receive these items at a police station or trauma hospital. The Packs provide new clothes (necessary for when the police remove clothing for forensic testing), toiletries, a blanket, a colouring book, pencils and a “Hope” teddy bear. The aim is to use this simple act to bring some comfort and a sense of normality to a life that has been turned upside down, and restore a sense of dignity and hope at a time when it is needed most.
