Linking Hearts Ambassadors
The Linking Hearts Ambassador Program is an alliance of male ambassadors who use individual and/or combined resources, knowledge and expertise to positively impact the sphere of Domestic and Family Violence in Australia; the goal is to end Domestic and Family Violence in Australia.
The Ambassadors Program
On Tuesday 19 March 2019, Linking Hearts officially launched the first group of Linking Hearts Ambassadors Program, a program that was initially announced at the Muslim Women Association’s 35th Anniversary Dinner in November 2018 with the appointment of Mr. Graham Richardson, media commentator, as the first Linking Hearts Ambassador. The second group of Linking Hearts Ambassadors was inaugurated at the Together We Are Better MWA 36th Anniversary Dinner in November 2019.
Proudly wearing the Linking Hearts pin, Lining Hearts Ambassadors pledge to be catalysts of change, to influence social practices and community responsibility in putting an end to domestic and family violence in Australia.
We are excited with the array of distinguished and committed gentlemen, who recognise that together, we can make a difference towards a Domestic and Family Violence FREE (DFVREE) Australia.
