Birds in the Bush is a volunteer-run not-for-profit that focuses on family & domestic violence in the Central West. Their mission is to raise awareness of violence against women in the community through empowerment, fundraising, advocacy and education. 
 

Birds in the Bush aims to raise funds to support The Orchard Orange. The Orchard Orange offers a safe and supportive environment for women and children experiencing family & domestic violence. This sanctuary provides trauma-informed physical design for independent living, ensuring privacy and intensive support when needed most. The choice to stay within their community allows victim survivors to maintain their established support networks, including family, friends, and services, and continue their employment and education.

Birds in the Bush plan to help refurbish the six family units at The Orchard Orange, replacing worn-out items to continue offering beautiful, welcoming homes for over 240 women and children who have sought refuge since its opening. Additionally, Birds in the Bush would like to support The Orchard Bathurst by contributing to a playground facility for visiting families and children. Play therapy within The Orchard facilities provides children with a safe space to process their emotions, regain control, and rebuild positive connections in their environment.
