Milton Theatre is proud to present a special fundraising event Celebrating Women in Music,  featuring a showcase of local artists who have come together to raise funds for local charity Safe Waters Community Care Inc.

Safe Waters was established in 2019 to assist those experiencing homelessness due to the lack of supported crisis accommodation in the local area. The organisation addresses homelessness in our local area by operating a safe shelter, providing nutritious meals, supporting people, and offering transitional housing for the most vulnerable.
