• Perth multicultural event

Perth Chinese Corps and Perth Fortress Corps are hosting an upcoming multicultural event to better connect the services of the Salvos with the diverse communities of Western Australia.

“The purpose of the event is to showcase the work of the Salvos across Perth, with a particular aim to our broader multicultural community,” explains Aaron Stobie, Perth Fortress Corps Officer. “We want to ensure that our broader community is aware of the breadth of the work of the Salvos.”

Perth Fortress is opening its doors to the local community to learn more about its work.

Services at the site include Doorways, social groups, a community meal and a low-cost café. All operate out of the Salvos William Street site, where both Perth Fortress and Perth Chinese Corps are co-located. 

“We want to raise awareness, collaborate and build strong relationships to better serve and meet the growing needs in our community,” Aaron says. “We also have the Beacon Accommodation, Bridge House, AOD, and Family and Domestic Violence supports all based in Perth.”

The event will also offer Wills Day services, social activities for all ages and specific activities for youth and children.

The Perth Multicultural Event runs from 10am-12pm on Thursday 7 August, 333 William Street, Northbridge.
