We currently run 2 Social Enterprise businesses that work out of our Guildford and Mandurah sites. In Guildford we run a Op Shop which provides low cost white goods, furniture, clothing and bric a brac at low cost prices and all the goods are donated.  The Op Shop is run by all volunteers. 

At the Mandurah site we have a Newspaper Recycling business which is also run by retired volunteer men.  The money raised by these businesses  is put back into providing our clients with other services that we are not funded for, this may be changing  light globes, hanging pictures on walls, changing washers in taps, all sorts of handyman jobs that a client would have to pay a tradesman to do.  These services are also done by volunteer tradesman.
