Bunnings “Share The Dignity” Campaign

Woodworkers of the Southern Peninsula

Bunnings "SHARE THE DIGNITY" Project

Recently Bunnings approached WoSP to build a box for the “Share the Dignity” Campaign.

Rob Oram & Gordon Waddingham stepped forward and built the box in no time at all.

Bunnings organised the paint job. Now the box sits in the Bunnings foyer in Rosebud for the public to make donations supporting victims of domestic violence.

The box can be disassembled and transported to any location to support this important campaign.
