Homeless Connect Day
Homeless Connect Day is held in early November each year at Russell Square, Northbridge It provides a one stop shop of services to homeless persons or those at risk of homelessness by bringing together community groups, businesses and the three tiers of Government to provide services for one day. Scotch has been associated with Homeless Connect since 2009. At that time, the event was held at the Cultural Center.
Scotch boys are involved in the preparation. They typically spend the day before assisting to set up the booths inside the marquees for service providers and sorting donated food and clothing in their respective areas.
