A PERTH Salvation Army women’s refuge will feel more “homely” thanks to the generosity of locals who took part in the Feels Like Home campaign run by Karrinyup Shopping Centre.
The campaign, which ran throughout August, had customers donate stylish homewares and money to bring added comfort, security and warmth to women and children escaping family violence.
It also included a makeover by local stylist Kyree Harvey who transformed the refuge with the donated goods.
