An organisation that aims to ‘disrupt the cycle of women’s homelessness’ has found a new home after being recently evicted from their premises.
Co-founder of the SHIFT Project, Anne Goslett, told
The Echo they are excited to be currently in the process of securing a long lease on a property in the Byron Bay Arts & Industry Estate.
Ms Goslett says, ‘To those members of our wonderful community who reached out to offer their support, ideas and encouragement – we thank you from the bottom of our hearts’.
Julie Wells, another SHIFT Project co-founder, said, ‘We are preparing for the big shift – packing down the old and fitting out the new will take many hands to get the job done.
This morning a valuable asset to the Byron community is set to disappear, temporarily, hopefully, not permanently.
With a vision to disrupt the cycle of women’s homelessness, the Linen SHIFT project was born to provide unique individual support and education for at-risk women in a safe residential environment.
The Linen SHIFT opened its doors in March 2020 during the height of COVID and against all odds, provided employment for over 14 women transitioning from welfare to wellbeing. The project is the only on-site commercial laundry in the Byron Shire – the closest similar on-site service is in the Tweed.
Co-founders Anne Goslett and Julie Wells hoped that by fostering emotional and physical wellbeing, women would be empowered to regain their lives, reconnect with community and achieve their full potential.
