Community Group Award 2022
We Care in the West

Torrensville resident Nadine Wood began We Care in the West Facebook Group at the beginning of COVID-19 with the aim to help elderly community members with day-to-day tasks. Members who join the group are part of a community that gives back by undertaking what some of us would consider 'simple' tasks, such as obtaining groceries and collecting prescriptions.

The group has more than 500 members now who provide assistance wherever it's needed. This has included gathering essential items for organisations to provide to groups in need, providing non-perishable foods to elderly and those who are vulnerable in our community, donating funds and even baking cookies for essential workers to say 'thank you'.
