Swings and Roundabouts raises $1500 for Harbour Refuge and Support Services in art auction fundraiser

A Capes region winery has been thanked for its support after raising $1500 for woman and children affected by domestic violence. Swings and Roundabouts held an art auction at its Margaret River bar and restaurant last month as part of its Vines & Visions event for this year’s Cabin Fever, with funds raised being donated to Harbour Refuge and Support Services. A total of $750 was raised on the night, with the business doubling the donation after the event. Attendees enjoyed a four-course meal paired with drops from the Yallingup vineyard while pieces by South West artists Delfina Monteverde and Soleil Heimlich went under the hammer. Harbour chief executive Ali White expressed her gratitude for the support from the business and event patrons. “The funds raised will significantly aid our mission to provide life-changing support to women and children living in the South West region who are escaping or experiencing domestic violence,” she said. “Partnerships like these are vital in helping us create a safer and more supportive community.” Swings and Roundabouts marketing manager Amanda Keady said it was a privilege to host the event and see the community come together for an important cause. “We are committed to giving back and supporting organisations that make a real difference, like Harbour,” she said. “We look forward to continuing this partnership and making Harbour our charity of choice for future events.” Swings and Roundabouts is set to collaborate again for next year’s International Women’s Day in March.
