Inner Wheel Queenstown’s latest meeting at Te Atamira

Hey Queenstown! Are you ready to walk the talk for an important service?

Every step you take helps shine a light on this vital United Nations-led global campaign. ‘Orange The World’, uses the colour orange to raise awareness and spark action against gender-based violence and human rights violations against women and girls.

Dress up in Orange and join us on 22 November at 10am for a casual but important gathering, dedicated to raising awareness to end violence against women and girls. It’s a chance to connect with your community, enjoy the beautiful Queenstown Gardens, and make a tangible difference right here at home.

Your participation will also directly benefit our local Women’s Refuge, with every dollar raised going straight back to support their work providing hope, a safe place to sleep and access to services and advice for local women, their children and pets.

Proudly hosted by the Inner Wheel Club of Queenstown, we are a group of women of all ages and cultures, who come together for friendship, fun, service and giving back to our community. So grab your friends, family, and furry companions and let’s turn it into a lovely stroll while raising awareness.

If you can’t make it but would like to donate please do so to Queenstown Inner Wheel Club: 12-3405-0004003-02
REF: Orange

Mark your calendar: Friday, 22 November, from 10am - 12pm. Meet at the Rotunda
