“Amazingly, last year was the first time we were involved in the City2Surf and we raised nearly $23,000,” comments Sallianne McClelland, President of the Hornsby Ku-ring-gai Women’s Shelter. “We’d love to raise even more this year so we can fund more beds in the future.”

The Hornsby Ku-ring-gai Women’s Shelter is community funded and run – without any direct government assistance. Close to half a million dollars is needed each year to keep our doors open. The shelter provides around the clock caseworkers, food and accommodation plus a team of volunteers work tirelessly without taking a cent to provide everything else needed to keep the shelters running.
“After staying with us, 85% of our clients are able to turn their lives around but it’s heartbreaking we need to turn away on average 5 women a week due to our limited resources,” said Sallianne.
