SPLC Members! The students in Community Services at South Metropolitan Youth Link are seeking your assistance! Throughout the course of our studies, we have become increasingly aware of the barriers that women face caring for their physical and mental wellbeing, which have been exacerbated by the pandemic. In response, we are organising 50 Care Bags to be gifted to women living on or below the poverty line, over two health information sessions, hosted alongside Uniting WA during Women’s Health Week in September.
Our class group would like to invite the generous SPLC community to participate, by donating self-care supplies to fill the Care bags. Items can be delivered to the designated basket within SPLC from June to August, during business hours (Mon-Fri, 9am-3:30pm).
Below is a list to indicate provisions that will be greatly appreciated.
