A re-elected McGowan Labor Government will deliver $10,000 to purchase items to support the work of Dandelions WA.

The newly formed organisation is already providing great support in the community, including to families in the Gidgegannup & Wooroloo bushfire affected areas. 

Volunteers sort through thousands of donations and make up kits for delivery. The funding will provide much appreciated amenities for staff and volunteers, including an outdoor table and chairs, shade umbrella, a bar fridge and coffee machine. 

Dandelions WA has said that it would like to have these amenities set up so it can look after its volunteers during rest periods. 

Comments by Emily Hamilton MLA, Member for Joondalup:

“Dandelions WA was set up by a wonderful group of women in our community who are providing support where it is needed.

“The great contribution Dandelions WA is making to those in need couldn’t be done without its volunteers who dedicate their time.”
