For most West Australians, Christmas is a time of joy and family, but for some people, it is a time of loneliness, homelessness or when budgets are stretched to the absolute maximum. If you’ve been thinking of helping the needy this festive season, here are some ways in which you might be able to help.

Christmas Lunch in the Park – Mission Australia
Mission Australia will host the 2016 Christmas Lunch in the Park at Wellington Square on Christmas Day.
