Re.Group and Return-It are extremely proud to share the incredible impact our partnership with St Pat’s Community Centre has brought to the local community of Mandurah, Rockingham, Fremantle, and Perth CBD.

Through our partnership, Return-It has provided $62k in partner payments, which is in addition to any of the funds raised by our customers donating their 10c eligible container CDS earnings to the support center.

This helped St Pat’s to provide:

  • 16,465 meals
  • 13.466 packages of food
  • 243 dental appointments
  • 249 health appointments
  • 300 beds

Return-It is grateful to have been able to provide support and stability through an uncertain climate amid a global pandemic. Thanks to Return-It, St Pats has the security of an ongoing source of income which allows them to keep providing those services and focus our efforts on delivering them to the most vulnerable people in the community. Our support alongside the volunteers’ hard work and dedication has ensured that the 1480 people who reached out to St Pat’s in a crisis last year weren’t left without the essentials most of us take for granted.

“Thanks to Return-It, we have the security of an ongoing source of income which allows us to keep providing those services and focus our efforts on delivering them to the most vulnerable people in our community.

Along with the financial support, Martin Wright and his team have been extremely generous with their time and energy, helping us find new ways to promote our services and support and engage the community.

They’re always open to new ideas and suggestions and treat us like equal partners, rather than just a charity that they support.”

Being able to make a difference to both the environment and people in our community is of great importance to Return-It and St Pat’s,

"We're proud to have the support of a local enterprise that is changing minds and opinions about such an important issue."
