“PST was approached by the specialists providing the essential service to women traumatised by sexual assault, which unfortunately has increased in recent years,” Pink Silks Trust Chair and Co-founder Tanya Johnson OAM told News Of The Area.

Providing specialist equipment for these women gives them the care, thoroughness and sensitivity they need in this distressing time.

“To be able to provide an environment of support and comfort to these women through this vulnerable and difficult experience is vital,” Tanya said.

“We are so fortunate to live in a community that wants to help, that wants to be part of the support needed for women going through a difficult time in their lives.

“We are grateful to be able to bring awareness to the health needs of our local women and be supported by the generosity of the Coffs community.”

The next two fundraising events for the charity are Pink Silks Trust Golf Day on Friday 12 January 2024 and Pink Silks Trust Ladies Charity Race Day on Sunday 14 January 2024.
