Sharyn Becker
Because We Care Boutique Central Coast Co-ordinator
As a lifelong ‘Coastie’, I’m a passionate supporter of our region. My mission is to build an engaged, safe and friendly community, whilst also helping to develop our local economy.
The Because We Care Boutique presents a unique opportunity for businesses to generate goodwill by supporting local women as they move beyond their challenging circumstances. It offers cost-effective community exposure to thousands of local residents each month. Please contact me for information about our sponsorship packages - I look forward to speaking with you soon.
“The Because We Care Boutique was the perfect opportunity for me because Sharyn really trusted me to try new things and helped me learn the ways of Australian workplaces, which are quite different to [my home country] Iran. I love seeing the clients happy and smiling after their time with us.
Talking with people at the Boutique has really helped improve my language skills, too. Once I got a bit more confident, Sharyn took me along to several Community and Business Women’s Network events. It really helped me talk to other women and tell them my story. I first connected with my current manager at a CBWN event. A year later, she contacted me about an admin job in her conveyancing firm.”
Aram, Volunteer Stylist
“My life started to change for the better the first day I walked into the Because We Care Boutique. I was greeted by beautiful and caring women who accepted me right away. Nothing was a problem for them – that first styling session made me feel like a princess. The staff were so encouraging and believed in me when I couldn’t do that for myself.
The best part of my experience has been the ongoing support and the sense of belonging the Boutique has given me. I know I can drop by any time and feel welcomed. I’m having another styling session soon because I’ve landed a part-time job with someone I met through the Community and Business Women’s Network. I wouldn’t have had the confidence to attend networking events before I met Sharyn and her team. I’m also parenting, writing a thesis and volunteering for a social group. I want to give back because I know that connecting with people who care is so important when you’re in a dark place. I really don’t think I’d be here without these women supporting me.”
