Sexual violence can leave lasting emotional harm. Survivors often need safe spaces, counseling, and long-term support to heal. Communities play an important role in helping survivors feel believed, supported, and safe.
Saffron Centre provides counseling, education, and support services for survivors of sexual violence. They also assist families and work with community partners to promote healing and prevention. To continue this work, they are hosting a special fundraising gala.
The Igniting Hope Gala 2026 will take place on Thursday, September 10, 2026 at The Agora, Strathcona County Community Centre. The evening will honor survivors, celebrate community support, and highlight the organization’s new purpose-built space for healing and care. This event helps fund counseling services, survivor support programs, and community education. It also supports the development of a safe and accessible space designed to help survivors heal with dignity.
Join here to support survivors and help build safer, more supportive communities.
