Domestic violence hurts everyone. It is commonly used by one person to take control over the other but even worse, are the effects on children.  We have offices in Berri and Murray Bridge and outreach to Mt Barker, Loxton, Renmark, Waikerie and elsewhere by negotiation. The MurrayLands Domestic Violence Service is funded by government to provide support and supported accommodation for women and children experiencing domestic violence. We are a registered Charity and as such, donations of $2 and over are tax deductible. If you would like to help a family through a difficult time you may make a donation and the funds will provide items such as food, blankets, baby bottles, other emergency supplies and special programs. No one should have to live with domestic violence. We are not a government department so we rely on donations from the community to help support our programs. Think of the MurrayLands Domestic Violence Service in your will or donate now (this will take you to PayPal's website and you are not required to join PayPal to donate}:
