Western Australia

Supporting children in Western Australia

From the Pilbara to Perth, you can support West Australian children whilst having fun and meeting other great people committed to making the world a more just place for our future generations by attending our fundraiser booksales or shopping at our op shops in Perth.

Our programs in Western Australia reflect the breadth and diversity of the state, from the Kimberley and the Pilbara to Perth. We are committed to supporting children and young people in some of the most remote and disadvantaged communities. We tackle issues at a community level and our work is focused on early childhood development, youth engagement and family support.

Save the Children Book Sales

For over 60 years Save the Children has held an annual book sales to raise funds to support vulnerable children. Thanks to the generosity of volunteers offering their time collecting/sorting/cleaning thousands of quality donated books year round to get them ready for the annual booksales, our booksales are our biggest fundraisers in Perth. Save the Children ensures all proceeds go to support children in Western Australia and around the world. Find out more about the annual book sales and other fundraising activities in our Events information.
