The Great Baked Bean Handout

 

My Name is Mary. I am 78 eight years old, live in Perth and all I ate today was a can of baked beans and one piece of bread.
 
People Who Care has gone to unusual lengths to highlight the extreme needs that Perth pensioners face every day. We aim to deliver 300 cans of baked beans with a specially designed label to 300 of WA’s most influential people outlining the extreme poverty faced by many pensioners.
 
We hope this will encourage community minded people to advocate for those most in need and generate donations to help cover an unfunded programme called Power A Pensioner.
 
This programme is about preventing those Perth’s pensioners who rely solely on the pension from being left behind in extreme poverty. 
 
Please see attached media release for more information.

Welcome to People Who Care

We are committed to realising a caring community - one in which those who are able to look after those in need.

With an ageing population and an ever more hectic and time-consuming lifestyle, this country could easily have become one of those where neighbours don’t know each other, where friendships are scarce and where nobody cares about their fellows.

But this is Australia. The land of mateship. A nation in which people pull together and help one another in bad times and in good. The true Aussie spirit is alive and well and no more so than in an organisation such as People Who Care.
The name says it all.

Ordinary folk extending the hand of kindness to help those who are less able to care for themselves. And yet it’s much more than that. People Who Care Inc. has grown over the years to become one of Western Australia’s leading volunteer-based care providers. This website explains exactly who we are, what we do and how you can help.

Remember as you read on, that we all need people who care.
