Westside Community Care has assisted needy families in Springfield Lakes and the surrounding areas since 1997.
The organisation, a not-for-profit charity, provides various services to help those struggling in the community. These services include food parcels, back-to-school support, domestic violence assistance, and free legal advice.
Community Support Programs
It offers several programs to support individuals and families in need. They regularly provide free food items and parcels at the Camira Springfield Community Centre.
They also organise a back-to-school initiative each year, raising funds and gathering supplies for children. Through a partnership with Christians Against Poverty, they offer free debt help and budgeting assistance to those facing financial difficulties.
Activities and Events
The organisation also runs a variety of community activities and events. These include tap dancing classes, art and craft groups, fitness classes, and a men’s shed. It also hosts an annual Christmas appeal, where it collects and distributes gifts, food hampers, and other support to those in need.
Domestic Violence Support
It is committed to supporting domestic violence victims. They offer a range of free services, including a GEMS Confidential program, which provides wrap-around support such as legal advice, counselling, and retreats.
Partnerships and Volunteers
Westside Community Care works closely with government agencies, businesses, churches, and other community organisations to support those in need. They also rely on a network of volunteers to help deliver their services. The organisation encourages anyone interested in getting involved to reach out and join their network.
