The Pat Giles Centre is a wonderful place full of tremendously supportive workers. It is a place which provides assistance with getting household goods, clothing and blankets and is run really efficiently. The DVARS (Counselling for Women) counsellors are excellent and the DVCCS (Counselling for Children) counsellors are fantastic for children who have been through domestic violence. The activities and courses are great - they are much-needed, uplifting experiences. The child care workers give great support with children so that the mothers can pursue important issues in their lives.

Thank you, every one at Pat Giles. Pat yourselves on the back. You all deserve it.
