    Sarah Benjamin

    BOARD MEMBER, HUMAN RESOURCES & GOVERNANCE

    “I joined Blue Wren House to support victims of family and domestic violence beyond the workplace, and am incredibly proud to continue building a welcoming place for women and children to call home while they reclaim their voices, dreams and independence, with the support of the exceptional team at Blue Wren House.”

  • Virginia Wheway

    BOARD MEMBER, SPECIAL PROJECTS

    “I’m very fortunate to have never personally been touched by domestic violence or homelessness but I’ve helped several friends escape violent relationships and have seen the impacts first hand. As a self confessed statistics nerd I’m also well aware of the statistics and how sadly prevalent this issue is.

    I’ve had a long corporate career in data analytics and business strategy and I’d love to be able to use these skills to help Blue Wren and WCS do an even more incredible job of supporting women and children who find themselves needing help.”

  • Neesha Eckersley

    BOARD MEMBER, WOMEN’S COMMUNITY SHELTERS REPRESENTATIVE

    “I am so proud to be part of Blue Wren House and be part of a solution to domestic and family violence (DFV) in my local area. DFV is a solvable problem, and bringing all parts of community together all focused on solving this will make the difference. Women and children have a right to live free from violence, and Blue Wren House offers that initial safe space to recover, heal and reset on a pathway free from violence.“
