🥰 Winter Warmers 🥰

The wild winter weather has certainly kept our kitchen volunteers busy, but thanks to our incredible team, there’s always a delicious and nutritious meal ready for those who need it most.

A special shout-out to our Tuesday Troopers: Jane, Vivian, Vicki and Terese, who cooked up sausages and a sunny mash to chase the clouds away.

If you're facing homelessness and need a meal, hot showers and access to support services please drop in to our Hub and see us, 7:30am to 2pm weekdays.

A massive thanks to Sam for spreading the word about the 'Hidden Homeless' in Western Australia and promoting our winter appeal, which seeks to raise urgent funds to support more people experiencing homelessness this winter.

All donations are currently being matched, so your $100 gift becomes $200 going towards helping the most vulnerable people in our community.

Donate now at https://donate.stpats.com.au/

Bout to be good little megaphone and talk about about homelessness, broadcasting across WA entirely on the ABC, where I will proudly launch St Pat's Winter Appeal and encourage listeners to alter their opinion as I have?

Homelessness is not just people sleeping rough in any CBD. We call them 'The Hidden Homeless' - it's older women and it's families, including over 70,000 kids. They are us. They had houses and jobs recently. The family I met yesterday were made homelessness by a cancer diagnosis. People experiencing homelessness get cancer too.

Love Your Sister fights for Precision Onclogogy for ALL cancer patients. The link to donate for cancer canquishment lies in wait for you, in the comments!

Gotta get back to shooting a quality doco for SBS!

Meet the amazing Matt, Individual Advocate with People With disabilities WA!

If you need disability advocacy support, Matt is at our Hub every second Wednesday, from 9am to 12pm.

He can support you to:

✅ Access independent advocacy if you have a disability
✅ Ensure your rights are upheld and defended
✅ Resolve issues and understand your options
✅ Get up-to-date information to make informed decisions

You can catch him next on February 25th!

PWdWA operates outreach at St Pat’s Engagement Hub at 12 Queen Victoria Street in Fremantle, fortnightly on Wednesdays, 9:00 am –12:00 pm, offering specialist advocacy support that complements the incredible work St Pat’s already does.

For more than 50 years, St Pat’s has been supporting people experiencing homelessness and disadvantage across Perth’s south metro. Their mission is simple but powerful: helping people build stability and reconnect with community through essential services and person-centred support.

At the St. Patrick's Community Support Centre Engagement Hub (open Monday–Friday, 7:30 am–2:00 pm), community members can access:
• Nutritious meals and breakfast
• Showers, day lockers, phone charging & computers
• Emergency relief, referrals and advocacy
• Health & wellbeing services, including an on-site clinic
• Pro bono dental care
• Financial, legal and disability support (including NDIS)
• Social connection through music, art, groups and events

St Pat’s also provides outreach across Perth, meeting people where they are, building trust, and supporting them in accessing safe accommodation and services with respect and dignity.

As an Individual Advocate, Matt can support you to:
• Access independent advocacy if you have a disability
• Ensure your rights are upheld and defended
• Resolve issues and understand your options
• Get up-to-date information to make informed decisions

What Matt can’t do:
• Provide legal or financial advice
• Provide personal care or support workers
• Manage or coordinate services (e.g., finding housing or support workers)
• Provide mediation or counselling
• Make decisions for you
• Take actions on your behalf that someone else can reasonably do
• Investigate organisations or force them to act

If an issue is outside our scope, we’ll always do our best to connect you with someone who can help.
