Homeless Persons Week 2012 is almost over! Don’t forget to buy a coffee from the nearest Cafe Smart cafe. The YACWA photography exhibition also opens today in Wolf Lane  in the CBD, so be sure to check it out – it’s open to the public until August 18, from 11am to 5pm.

It’s the last day to get your donations in. Whether it’s socks, jocks, sleeping bags or toiletries they are desperately needed by the homeless of Perth. Check out the list of donation collection points to find one near to you!

The Walk to Support the Homeless is tomorrow. The weather will be fine and it’s not a long walk (click here to see the route) – no excuses! We meet at Wesley Church at 12 noon.

The Walk to Support the Homeless will be accompanied by the Capoeira group Cordao de Ouro this year.

Capoeira is a Brazilian art form which, depending who you ask, is a dance, a fight, a culture – or all three. Check out the CDO’s Youtube channel (http://www NULL.youtube NULL.com/user/ouricoCDO?feature=watch) to see for yourself.

The group will be providing a beat to walk to and hanging around afterwards to ‘play’ and hopefully get some people from the crowd involved. CHCWA is excited to have CDO on board for the Walk. It should be a good day!

A candlelit walk will be held on the foreshore of Geraldton at 6pm on Thursday, August 8, for Homeless Persons Week.

The Geraldton Resource Centre and Sun City Christian Centre have organised the ‘Homelessness Candle Light Foreshore Walk’ to recognise the homeless of Geraldton. Gather at the foreshore opposite Mitchell & Brown at 6.00pm to commence the Walk at 6.15pm. Candles will be provided.

The Walk will finish at the Town Foreshore near the Dome and hot soup will be served to participants.

All enquiries to Geraldton Resource Centre on 9938 0600.

This is the route we will walk for the Walk to Support the Homeless this year on Saturday, August 11,  2012.

The Walk to Support the Homeless is an annual event for Homeless Persons Week (August 6 – 12) which aims to raise awareness of homelessness and foster support within the community.

The route will differ from previous years because of construction works in Forrest Place. This year we will start and finish at Wesley Church on the corner of Hay and William Streets.

The Walk to Support the Homeless is back!

Owing to construction works in Forrest Place, we will start from Wesley Church at 12 noon on Saturday, August 11, 2012. Show your support towards ending homelessness by joining in.
