Kick off your red shoes to aid a community fundraising and education campaign to stamp out violence across our communities.
Toowoomba Region Mayor Cr Geoff McDonald is encouraging residents to donate red shoes which will be auctioned on November 25 in aid of Toowoomba Together's fundraising efforts to help support services recognise, respond, and refer to domestic violence in the community.
"Red shoes can be donated at The Empire Ticket Office at 56 Neil Street, Toowoomba from 9am to 3pm on weekdays or at Council's Customer Service office in Little Street, Toowoomba from 8.30am-5pm on weekdays," Mayor McDonald said.
"We are inviting residents to donate their red shoes in a project that mirrors efforts by the Red Shoes Australia charity and a wider global movement 'to ensure women across the country who have disappeared due to violence become visible again'.
"Any red shoes or boots will be accepted as part of the wider campaign to call out abusive behaviour in any setting.
