About

Community events are at the heart of The Foundation WA’s mission to build connections and foster a sense of belonging. These events provide opportunities for individuals, families, and especially our youth and young adults to come together in a supportive environment. Through these gatherings, we create spaces for open dialogue, share resources, and celebrate the unique experiences and strengths of our community. By bringing people together, we strengthen the bonds that make us resilient and help ensure everyone feels seen, valued, and connected. Our community events are vital in promoting healing, empowerment, and unity, which are core to the work we do every day.

It’s more than just a celebration—it’s an opportunity for people to come together, build relationships, and strengthen the sense of belonging that is core to our mission at The Foundation WA
