Pamper Care Project
All over the world and including Australia, people are doing it tough. West Lake Macquarie is no exception. There is the “hidden” population of homeless and disadvantaged people - men, women and children.
Most people don’t choose to be homeless or disadvantaged. For many, this happens because of domestic violence, marriage/ relationship breakdown, loss or change of employment, illness or accidents, family breakdown. The Five Bays Sustainable Neighbourhood Group is helping where we can in our local area, working with Woodrising Neighbourhood Centre to give a little bit of pampering with personal care products to those who need it the most. The things most of us take for granted. Since the start of the Pamper Care Project in July 2017, your donations have been helping locals in need. Find out more. Update July 2018
In the last financial year the Pamper Care project has assisted over 60 local people in need! Thank you to everyone who has donated, and these wonderful service organisations who distribute Pamper Care products: Woodrising Neighbourhood Centre Eastlake Youth Centre Castle Personnel The Salvos Nova Women's and Children's Refuge Lake Macquarie High School Toronto High School |

Establish a new distribution point with a local service provider
Pamper Care packs are currently distributed to people in need through the Woodrising Neighbourhood Centre. We are seeking volunteers to establish partnerships with similar service providers in other areas of Lake Macquarie, to help spread the benefits of our project.
Contact the Five Bays Sustainable Neighbourhood Group if you are interested in helping set up a new distribution point in your area.
