We believe in the basics.
Basic dignity, basic respect, basic warmth, hygiene and safety.
When the weather gets colder, many vulnerable people in our community struggle to stay warm and comfortable.
In May 2023, we launched Collecting the Basics; a donation drive that focuses on providing essential items for comfort and survival to those in need during the Winter months.
​
Each year, for approximately 6 weeks across April & May, the public is invited to donate new and unused items during the campaign.
Items like toiletries, underwear, socks, beanies, scarves, and gloves can be dropped off to any of our collection points across Perth.
​
Check our FAQ page for a full list of goods collected.
​
Items are distributed to people in need through crisis accommodation centres, drop-in centres and outreach services for men, women and youth.
Every donation makes a difference!
