Indigo Junction’s Christmas Appeal aims to make a difference in the lives of young people, families and individuals who are experiencing homelessness, housing crisis or other hardship this Christmas.
Christmas is upon us. And while many people love this time of the year, the festive season is an extremely challenging period for some families and individuals. According to the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, 5100 West Australians are being helped by specialist homelessness services like Indigo Junction each day.
In the 2023/2024 financial year, Indigo Junction provided:
- Over 1195 food parcels or food vouchers to 822 people in need
- Safe, affordable housing and support to 12 families (including 35 children and young people), 22 vulnerable young people, and 25 women and children escaping family and domestic violence
- Around 42 young people with intensive support through the Keny Moort and LIFT programs
- In addition to accommodation provided through the refuge, 2229 people received counselling and advocacy support through Koolkuna’s Coordinated Response and Advocacy Service
- 340 people who were sleeping rough, homeless or at risk of homelessness with support through our various outreach and intensive case management support programs
There is still a lot more to do in the local area and we need your help.
Make a difference in the lives of young people, families and individuals this Christmas by making a donation to Indigo Junction. Your contribution will assist us to continue delivering support services and programs to people in need in the local community.
