Club Corowa proudly stood alongside clubs across New South Wales in support of the Clubs NSW “Clubs Say No to Domestic Violence” initiative, taking part in Purple Friday last week to promote community safety, respect and awareness.
As part of the statewide campaign, Club Corowa staff donned purple colours in solidarity, joining clubs across the state in demonstrating a shared commitment to supporting those impacted by domestic and family violence and promoting a culture of respect within the community.
In addition, Club Corowa has joined with The DV Collective in supporting its Silly Socks Campaign, a light-hearted but meaningful initiative designed to spark conversation, raise awareness and show visible community support for safer lives for women and children.
The Purple Friday initiative, led by Clubs NSW, highlights the ongoing impact of domestic and family violence across Australia. Clubs NSW statistics show that one in four women will experience domestic or family violence, more than 50 per cent of women seeking crisis accommodation are turned away each night, and domestic and family violence is estimated to cost the Australian economy approximately $26 billion annually. In 2025, 77 women and 26 children lost their lives due to domestic violence.
Club Corowa CEO Peter Norris said the club recognises the importance of visibly supporting initiatives that strengthen community wellbeing.
“Domestic and family violence continues to affect individuals and families across communities, including regional areas,” Mr Norris said.
“By participating in Purple Friday and supporting the DV Collective’s Silly Socks Campaign, Club Corowa is showing its support for messages of safety, respect and shared responsibility.”
The club is committed to ensuring its staff are equipped to recognise concerns, respond appropriately and foster an environment where people feel safe and supported. This includes promoting awareness, respectful behaviour and strong community connections.
“Community clubs are places where people come together,” Mr Norris said. “The club believes it is important to use that connection to reinforce positive messages and to stand alongside organisations working to create safer communities.”
The Silly Socks Campaign is a light-hearted but meaningful initiative designed to spark conversation, raise awareness.
The Clubs NSW campaign emphasises the role of community leadership, early intervention and shared responsibility in addressing domestic and family violence, reinforcing that everyone deserves to feel safe, respected and supported.
Support is available for anyone impacted by domestic or family violence via 1800RESPECT (1800 737 732).
