Do you have old mobile phones? Can you donate them for our DV Safe Phone project?
Our Club has a focused project to support DV (domestic violence) Safe Phone Group (based in Mooloolaba) which has a national plan to end violence against women and children and to end gender based violence within one generation. Nikki Firman addressed the Club on 12 March 2024. We can support this project by gathering in your discarded old mobile phones, which will be passed on to women in need – victims of domestic violence.
Phones should have content erased, although DV Safe Phone will ensure that occurs in any event. For iPhones, it is important to sign out of iCloud and iTunes and App Store. For Android or Samsung Galaxy, it is important to sign out of accounts and encrypt old data before erasing device. We can provide a link for detailed instructions.
Next steps:
- Look for your old phones.
- Email Tom Callander if you can donate them.
- Erase data – ask for link if required.
- Bring them to our in person meetings either on 30 April 2024 at Emerald Hotel or on 7 May 2024 at RACV (alternatively make other arrangements with Tom Callander).
- We will then deliver all phones to DV Safe Phone.
