Fighting Food Insecurity
The Wests Group ClubGRANTS program is committed to fighting food insecurity and supporting local organisations that address this issue.
Soul Café, located in the heart of Newcastle, is one such organisation. Every day, they provide quality, home-cooked meals and a welcoming space for people in need, regardless of their circumstances.
Last August, The Wests Group ClubGRANTS program provided Soul Café with an annual funding injection of $45,000 to help sustain the service. This contribution has helped keep the doors open and the food flowing on this all-important communal table. The Wests Group is proud to support Soul Café and its efforts to nourish the community and bring people together.
