In 2011 we proudly supported the following community initiatives:

Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden Project

The aim of SAKG is to engage and educate young children in growing, harvesting, preparing and sharing delicious, healthy food in the belief that these skills and understanding are essential to the development of lifelong joyful and healthy eating habits.

The program at East Fremantle Primary School will grow a great deal of the produce used in the classroom each week. The Fremantle Markets provides a supply of fresh herbs and vegetables each week until their garden is fully productive.

Araluen Chilli Festival

Go for 2&5 Araluen’s Fremantle Chilli Festival takes place annually in March as a celebration of all things chilli! Featuring a diverse range of stallholders, Masters of Menu cooking demonstrations, live music and more, this is a wonderful celebration of the culinary and cultural aspects of the humble chilli.

Fremantle Street Festival

Australia’s biggest and best street arts festival returns in full force to Fremantle this Easter long weekend. Performers from around the globe will invade the streets, turning them into over 10 stages to amuse, astound and amaze.

The 2012 Fremantle Street Arts Festival will showcase the world of busking, street theatre, comedy, circus, cabaret and lots more. Get involved in the action and witness first class acts or catch an evening show.

Gimme Shelter

Gimme Shelter was the brainchild of local musician Dave Johnson. Employed to run songwriting workshops and a choir group at St Patrick’s Community Support Centre he saw the remarkable work being done by the professionals and volunteers at the centre. He also realized the scale of the problem of homelessness in our community and wanted to do something to help.
