Latest news at United Way WA:
Spring has sprung and our Re-Engaging in Community buddies are sure making the most of it!
This week we caught up with new buddies Tom and Ly to celebrate R U OK? Day with a catch-up at King’s Park. Participant Ly, (pictured in orange) has recently discovered a passion for horticulture and is currently studying at North Metro TAFE.
He loves a trip to King’s Park, especially with the festoon of wildflowers blossoming right now, and enjoys sharing his newfound knowledge with Tom.
Volunteer buddy Tom is a psychology student and avid runner, who religiously runs through King’s Park, now all the more interesting through Ly’s growing knowledge of the flora!
