History
Friend in Need was founded in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic in WA. Watching the way people came together to support each other made us realise that there were many who were willing to reach and help others in difficult times. We aim to capture and build upon this spirit of altruism to grow stronger, healthier communities.
From 2022, Friend in Need workshops are run by Anglicare WA’s Clear Minds practice.
