Partnerships like this make a meaningful difference. We recently welcomed the team from Yard Property to TADWA for a special visit.

Their generous donation of technology will support our digital inclusion work, ensuring more people can access the tools and confidence needed to stay connected, informed and independent in everyday life.

We’re grateful to Yard Property for recognising the impact of access to technology and for investing in a more inclusive community.

Today, and every day, we celebrate our volunteers.

Our incredible volunteer team plays a vital role in supporting TADWA’s Technology and Computer Support (TACS) team - refurbishing and recycling donated computers so they can be re-used where they’re needed most.

As a proud member of Volunteering WA, we were delighted to celebrate our volunteers throughout the year:
* In May, with a special morning tea and gifts for National Volunteer Appreciation Week
* In December, acknowledging International Volunteer Day
* And most recently, sending them into the holiday break with a pizza lunch and Christmas gifts

The celebrations were presented by our CEO Dr Gill Walker and Eddy Lim, Manager - Technology and Computer Support. There was plenty of pizza, plenty of laughter, and a strong sense of appreciation shared by all.

Our volunteers are an integral part of the TADWA team, and we’re grateful for the time, skills and commitment they bring.

Interested in volunteering with us?
Get in touch - we’d love to hear from you.

Wally’s electronic trike from TADWA gave him freedom, confidence and a new passion for art! 🚴♂️🎨

He rides to the local arts society to showcase his work and gets plenty of compliments on his ‘Harley Davidson’. 😎

“The trike gives me freedom. It gives me ability and mobility. I can go anywhere I want, anytime I want and I don’t need to wait for someone to come and help me.”
