Western Port Community Support

Today, we want to recognise a truly special young person whose kindness has touched our hearts.
At just 10 years old, Oliver saw an opportunity to help others and took it upon himself to make a difference.
To support our Winter Coat Drive Oliver organised a coat drive at Balnarring Primary, encouraged others to get involved, & collected an incredible 38 coats for our community.
We are continually amazed by the generosity of our community, but there is something especially inspiring about seeing such compassion & leadership in someone so young.
Oliver's actions remind us that one person, no matter their age, can have a meaningful impact on the lives of others.
Oliver, thank you for your caring heart, your determination, and your willingness to help those in need. You should be incredibly proud of what you have achieved. We certainly are. 🥰

Yesterday we were fortunate to not only attend the annual Western Port Singers fundraiser concert in Balnarring, but also to be the recipient of all funds raised on the day.
A small team of Western Port Community Support volunteers and staff baked, created and served an amazing afternoon tea for 150 people and enjoyed the fantastic singing and music for the afternoon. Thankyou to the Western Port Singers for this very generous donation, your support will make a big difference to many!🥰

Big thanks to our community partners Commonwealth Bank Hastings for choosing WPCS as the recipient of the 2026 ComBank Community donation. Our agency programs including Housing and Homelessness Support Program and Family Support Program, rely entirely upon philanthropy and community donations so we thank branch Manager Nicole and her staff for choosing our agency for this generous donation.
