The theme of our 2019 annual report is the future is feminist, bold, inclusive.
“This annual report is themed around WIRE’s new strategic plan. I am very proud of the plan. It was developed after consultations with our board, staff and volunteers and a variety of stakeholders who use our services. The process enabled us to recommit to making a difference for women and gender-diverse and nonbinary people and to make sure we were providing a place for individuals to get the information and support they need as well as locating ourselves as a change leader and advocate for women and gender-diverse and nonbinary people. Our strategic plan is a license to continue the great work we are already doing with a considered plan that maximises our impact and supports our staff, volunteers and service users in the process.
There is so much work that WIRE has done this year that everyone associated with WIRE can be proud of. At professional and social events, I am often pulled aside to be told about the great experience a person or their friend had when they contacted WIRE during a desperate time. Our supports often get called life changing and lifesaving with value beyond measure. Thank you to all our funders and supporters for your continued faith in us.
Thank you to all WIRE’s staff, volunteers and board members for doing the hard work that needs to occur for WIRE to be as great as it is. In particular thank you to Wendy Wade, Chair of WIRE, for her continuing support. Thank you to all our service users, donors, and community members that continue to make a place in their heart for WIRE”.
– Julie Kun, WIRE CEO
