The community is invited to join the annual Walk Against Violence event (WAVe) to remember those who have lost their lives to family violence in WA this year.
This year’s theme is ‘Children Matter’ as children are the silent victims of family violence.
Immediately following the walk there will be a sausage sizzle and optional reflection paddle out with Shaun from A Glassy Day Surf Coaching (boards and wet suits are provided).
