While families across Perth come together to celebrate, smile and enjoy each other’s company this Christmas, we mustn’t forget those who are experiencing homeless, disadvantage or loneliness. For these people in our community, Christmas can be an extremely difficult time of year.

Now in its 48th year, Christmas Lunch in the Park aims to reach these individuals and offer them compassion, companionship and celebration on Christmas Day. Centred on a traditional shared Christmas lunch, the event ensures individuals receive the support they need on the day and into the future, if required.

Volunteer

Christmas Lunch in the Park is supported by over 300+ passionate volunteers who generously donate their time, energy and expertise in the lead up to and on Christmas Day.

The event attracts a large number of people wishing to volunteer, and while we would love to include everyone, we have limited places available. This ensures we can provide volunteers with meaningful roles and deliver a safe event.

Find out more about how to get involved as a volunteer this year.
