Charity Partner

Shelter from the Storm

We are proud to partner with Hornsby Ku-Ring-Gai Women’s Shelter (HKWS) to help make a real difference in the lives of women facing crisis.

With every SAMBRELLA® you purchase, a percentage goes directly to supporting the vital work of HKWS—providing safety, shelter, and support to women escaping domestic violence and homelessness.

Your umbrella does more than protect you from the rain.
It helps protect someone else from life’s storms.

About Hornsby Ku-Ring-Gai Women's Shelter

Women and children who seek our care are at the heart of all we do.

The shelter was established in 2015 in response to an identified need in the Hornsby Ku-ring-gai area to provide a safe place for women experiencing domestic violence and homelessness. We are part of the Women’s Community Shelter’s network whose funding model involves a collaboration between business, philanthropic foundations, local communities and the NSW and Commonwealth Government.

Our home is a place where women in need can access safe accommodation without judgement or obligation. With community support, we empower women and children experiencing domestic abuse and homelessness through opportunities for personal growth, and the development of life skills, for a future that is self-reliant. We provide tailored, holistic care that can include health and wellbeing, employment, and legal support.
