Help us make a difference

Each year Zig Zag faces ever increasing demands for our services and even though we receive funding from the Department of Child Safety, Youth and Women and the Department of Housing and Public Works, we struggle in an environment of increased need with depleting resources. Please dig deep and generously to assist Zig Zag’s committed workers in their continued support of young people at risk in our community.

Zig Zag is a registered charity. Tax deductible donations may be made directly:

Zig Zag Young Women’s Resource Centre Inc

We use donated funds for:

  • Emergency relief support – food vouchers, go cards, and phone credit

  • Therapeutic counselling resources

  • Group work resources

  • Library books and resources

  • Independent housing support – household items, kitchen utensils, linen, laundry items, whitegoods, and furniture

  • Therapeutic resources used in counselling

  • Community education – information resources
