The Lockwood Charitable Foundation has been a highly appreciated supporter of Palliative Care WA for a number of years. This year, the foundation’s generous support will allow us to facilitate the three country satellite events for our annual sector breakfast – in Bunbury, Albany and, for the first time, Pingelly.
We are very grateful that the Lockwood Charitable Foundation’s substantial support will allow us to take our messages to regional communities and enable those working in palliative care in these three regions – South West, Great Southern and the Wheatbelt – to be part of this annual palliative care sector educational and networking event. Through this investment, Palliative Care WA is able to reach and connect at the grassroots level, building knowledge and connections to enable capacity development in local palliative care support.
We are also extremely grateful for the following sponsors, who support us so often. They are: Parkinson’s Western Australia, Silverchain, Brightwater, St John of God Health Care, Cares Communities, PaSCE and Bethesda Health Care.
In addition, we would also like to acknowledge Lotterywest for their funding.
