WA Members Help RizeUp Set Up New Home 

👓 2 minute read

Members from a selection of Western Australian offices teamed up to support RizeUp in the process of setting up a new start for a family escaping domestic violence recently.

‘Everyone was amazing’ says State Membership Manager, Debbie Fletcher.

‘What struck me was how generous everyone is. They may have been familiar with each other's faces, but they didn’t know one another outside their offices. To see people sit on the ground laughing/talking, and building furniture from flat packs was inspiring. It makes everything worthwhile’.

A big thank you to everybody who completed the requisite police checks and onboarding process so they could give a hand on the day:

• Carina Druitt, FN Druitt Saunders (Doubleview)

• Rob Druitt, FN Druitt Saunders (Doubleview)

• Janine Ashworth, FN Hedland (Port Hedland)

• Scott Lowe, FN Hedland (Port Hedland)

• Deb Fletcher, National Support Office (NSO)

• Danielle Vasic, FN Kalgoorlie

• Amber Tansey, FN Kalgoorlie

• Amy Dole, FN Kalgoorlie

• Rebecca Grazziadelli, FN Kalgoorlie

• Gordan Waddingham (Rebecca’s partner)

We extend our special thanks to Karen Steinbacher, FN Mercer Bryant (Pinjara, WA) who couldn’t be there but donated a very valuable Coles gift voucher.
