RESIDENTS of Consulate Court, Thornlie are helping West Australians in need this Christmas by collecting food items on behalf of Anglicare WA.
Each December the residents of Consulate Court ‘light up’ their street to celebrate Christmas and to spread Christmas joy amongst people who visit the street.

This year a special collection point will be in place at number 11 Consulate Court, for visitors to the street to donate non-perishable food items that can be distributed to needy families through Anglicare WA.

Consulate Court, Thornlie is a well known Christmas Lights street in Perth. Residents have been ‘lighting up’ on December 1 each year for the past 15 years. This year 10 of the 13 houses in the street are participating and the street is even more spectacular than past years.

The street has won the City of Gosnells ‘Safe City’ award four times and has collected for charity over the past three years, with approx $4000 in total being donated to Make-a-Wish Foundation and PMH during this time.

This year, along with the collection of food items for Anglicare WA, there are also collection tins in place for PMH for gold coin donations.
