Helping people shine

Every day real people come to us with real stories to share. People, just like you, from all walks of life, who may have experienced something unexpected, and as a result are dealing with things they did not expect. It’s an all too common occurrence yet it’s where the kindness of our community really shines. It’s the kindness of people like you, who reach into themselves and donate what they can truly make a difference to those who need it most.

 

With you, we’re stronger

Accordwest is a West Australian not-for-profit community services provider with a focus on real people, not shareholders. Our culturally responsive services are for everyone and anyone. We accept people for who they are, no judgements. By understanding people’s stories we’re able to work together toward the creation of a fulfilling future. It’s a future that starts now. 

We greatly appreciate those individuals, businesses and community groups who already support us, and are grateful for new people looking to help. If you, your business or community group are in a position to help with either of our below initiatives, please contact us today.

 

Making real change is in your hands

Psssssshhhh! Hear that? That’s the sound of social clubs, sports clubs, schools and community groups right around the South West bringing people together and cracking a coldie. Yep, there’s nothing we love more than sharing an ice-cold beverage in the name of community spirit, from beers to ginger beers, sports drinks, iced teas and all in between. But did you know that four out of ten drink containers go to landfill in WA? That’s a whole lot of planet-harming cans, cartons and bottles that could easily be recycled and spun into loose change to spark real change in your local community.

Time for a refreshing change.

In partnership with Containers for Change, Accordwest is inviting our thirsty community groups to turn their drinking hands into helping hands by raising vital funds to keep our most vulnerable friends, family and neighbours off our (litter-free) streets.

It’s as easy as.

  1. Collect all your used and unwanted containers (just check for the 10¢ mark)
  2. Check here for your closest Containers for Change depot
  3. Drop off your containers and quote Accordwest number C10316116.

That’s it! Containers for Change will then deposit the funds from your kind donation into our bank account to support our mission. How refreshing is it to know that helping end homelessness in the South West is in your hands?

 

Other ways you can help

Across WA’s Southwest people just like you are pitching in to help out. Whether it’s a little or a lot, what you do here and now can make a significant difference for members of our local community. If you’re willing and able to donate, thank you from the bottom of our heart.

Help keep them warm
Donations of coats, blankets and clothing are always welcome at Accordwest to help the homeless. Donations can be dropped into our office in Bunbury or Busselton. Please only donate items in good condition.

Christmas Hamper Appeal
The Christmas Hamper appeal is an integral part of ensuring children and families who are doing it tough don’t miss out on enjoying the festive season. In December each year we distribute Christmas Food Hampers that include age and gender appropriate presents for children. Christmas wrapping paper and cards are included, so the parents can wrap and be involved in preparing their children’s gifts. Accordwest has been appreciative of the support from local people and businesses who donate children’s gifts each year to this appeal. It brings joy to the faces of all involved, both to those giving the gifts and those receiving.

Philanthropic donations
The power of charitable donations to increase human well-being is well documented. Not only does the act of giving make the donor feel good, the act of paying it forward assists members of the community in ways far beyond the benefits of money alone. If you are considering a charitable donation, we thank you. Our DONATE button takes you to a secure page with options for one off or recurring contributions.

Thank you from everyone at Accordwest and in your community.
