Now in its eighth year, the VenuesWest Community Partner Program is continuing to offer benefits to assist a select group of charity organisations to achieve their core objectives.
These invaluable partnerships increase the reach of VenuesWest across Western Australia each year.
VenuesWest CEO David Etherton said, “It is a privilege to support these charities and I hope that the benefits of this program create a long-lasting impact for those who need it most.”
“The Community Partner Program gives back to the Western Australian community, and I am proud to see that VenuesWest are providing significant benefits for these charities to build positive connections within the community,” Mr Etherton continued.
New addition What Ability Foundation will reap the rewards of a two-year partnership, while existing charities Good Sammy and Asthma WA have been renewed for an additional year in 2023/24.
What Ability Foundation is an Australian NFP charity that unlocks ticketed experiences for people living with a disability and their families.
The charity was established by former NRL player, Steve Dresler, to fund and facilitate experiences for people living with a disability or diminished capacity and their families across Australia.
What Ability Foundation is a passionate team who believes every person should have access to the community, because an inclusive community is a community for everyone.
This year’s Community Partner Program Expression of Interest also called for a Containers for Change partner.
Scouts WA have been appointed as the Containers for Change partner for a two-year period and will continue to manage the recycling of containers across VenuesWest’s self-managed and co-managed venues.
Funds received by VenuesWest through the Containers for Change scheme are passed directly on to our community partners.
VenuesWest has farewelled OzHarvest WA and St Catherine’s College Dandjoo Darbalung Indigenous Support Program and thanked them for their ongoing contribution during their partnerships.
Comments attributed to Steve Dresler, Founder of What Ability Foundation:
“I am so proud to see our Foundation partner with VenuesWest, and together we'll unlock unforgettable experiences, creating memories that will truly last a lifetime for so many families living in WA.
“With VenuesWest by our side over the next two years, we will have access to world-class venues and a passionate team who share our vision.
“Together, we will do extraordinary things because an inclusive community is a community for everyone!"
