Women's Refuge Whanganui is better off to the tune of almost $900, thanks to an enterprising idea from Wanganui Chronicle advertising consultant Christina Forsyth.
Forsyth first developed an advertising feature based on the Women's Refuge annual appeal in 2016 and 15 per cent of the revenue generated from the feature was gifted to the branch.
The 2018 feature which appeared in both the Chronicle and Midweek last month generated an $872 donation this year.
"There were 29 Whanganui businesses supporting it this year," said Forsyth.
