LOVE BiTES – Run Against Violence Grants Program

The Run Against Violence (RAV) Virtual Team Challenge has united communities across Australia with one powerful purpose: to end family and domestic violence through awareness, education, and connection.

Since it began, the Challenge has reached 56% of Australia’s local government areas, bringing together more than 16,000 participants to run, walk, and raise funds for safer communities.

Thanks to this incredible effort, the RAV Love Bites Grants Program has already funded respectful relationships training for more than 1,000 facilitators in 128 local government areas across Australia — helping thousands of young people learn about respect, equality, and healthy relationships.

About the Love Bites Grants

The RAV Love Bites Grants Program helps remove barriers to participation by providing funding support to communities that might otherwise miss out on training opportunities.

Each year, RAV partners with NAPCAN (National Association for Prevention of Child Abuse and Neglect) to offer grants that enable facilitators to attend Love Bites Facilitator Workshops for both the Love Bites Senior (Trauma Responsive) and Love Bites Junior programs.

The goal is simple:

• Expand access to respectful relationships education

• Support high-need areas to establish and sustain local Love Bites programs

• Empower facilitators to create safe and supportive spaces for young people

With your community’s involvement, we can continue building a future where every young person learns that respect is the foundation of all relationships.
