SUPPORT FOR OUR SENIORS!

Once a year as part of NSW Seniors Festival, Wests is proud to present our free Seniors expo around our Senior Socials showroom event. The expo provides our members with information and resources from a number of Senior Service providers in the local area including Probus, Carrington Care, Campbelltown Meals on Wheels, Service NSW, NSW Police, and many more.

This is a great opportunity for the over 55’s in our community to access services all in one location that may be able to support them. Plus we put on a great show and menu specials!

Getting Sporties Back On Their Feet

When the community calls out for help, Wests Group Macarthur answers, as did a number of other clubs, emergency services and dedicated volunteers for Camden Sporties in 2022. This area of Camden was was completely overcome with flood water on three seperate occasions starting with devastating floods in March and then again in April and July.

We are honoured to have played such a significant and vital role in preparing Camden Sports Club for re-opening each time, supplying much needed items including furniture, gaming machines, plants, cutlery stations, ice machines, security system update, collateral, as well as resourcing and manpower towards training, transport, IT, marketing support and more.

Crisis Support

Wests strongly believes in support for mental health and the incredible lifesaving work of Lifeline Macarthur and Western Sydney. We were pleased to contribute $20,000 towards delivering mental health and counselling services to the Macarthur region for another year.

The range of services include 24/7 Crisis Support telephone line, mobile counselling as well as financial counselling services. In addition, we are pleased to have invited the Lifeline Mobile Coffee Van to the Wests carpark for our members to grab a cuppa on us and talk to an expert in crisis prevention. Know someone who needs help? Refer them to 13 11 14.

Christmas spirit was in full action at our incredible Volunteer gift wrapping event held at Wests League Club with Big Yellow Umbrella following our Xmas Giving Tree Appeal 2022.

Thanks to our wonderful community friends, members and gift wrappers for their support in helping to spread christmas joy to those who need it.

Over 1,000 gifts were delivered to the community as a result of the appeal!
