After initially volunteering for the Perth Homeless Support Group’s Sunday Outreach Service over a year ago, we have continued to grow our support for the group by organising regular volunteering opportunities open to all employees and their families to attend.
Paul Fishlock, General Manager EC, spoke of his experience:
“After attending the PHSG for the second time with my wife and family, I gained a better understanding of the process and got to know the team who run the program. It gave me further insight into just how important the volunteers who continuously support the program are and how much those who are homeless rely on the handouts simply to survive.
The feeling of giving something back to the community and helping people who for whatever reason have ended up in this situation is very rewarding for myself and my family, and it only takes a few hours of our time.”
Mark Cox, Project Manager, also commented:
“I've volunteered twice at the Sunday outreach service and it's definitely an eye-opening experience to see how many people from all walks of life need support, from young children to the elderly who rely on these weekly handouts for their 'basic needs’.”
We will continue to support Perth Homeless Support Group, both by volunteering as well as in-kind and financial contributions.
