February 2025 Monthly Report

 

In February 2025, we at Wave served 1,622 hot meals, welcomed 10 new arrivals, distributed 133 clothing items, 345 hygiene items, ran 27 showers, charged 101 phones and power banks, and washed 19 loads of laundry.

Over the past month, we supported 65 people detained in Pre-Removal Detention Centres with clothing, hygiene items, and coffee.

The total population we supported in February was 1,113.

 

February was a busy but stable month at Wave. We are currently averaging serving  100-110 portions of warm, nutritious food per day, with a steady number of visitors and a well-prepared team handling the work efficiently. We cooked plenty of meals and tried-out new recipes in preparation for Ramadan.

With the start of Ramadan, we are pleased to share that we successfully reached our target for the Ramadan fundraiser, enabling us to serve the community as planned, with traditional foods, during the month of fasting. This achievement would not have been possible without the generosity and support of everyone who contributed. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all donors, volunteers, and supporters who came together to make a meaningful impact during this important time. Your kindness and dedication are truly appreciated.

In addition to our regular distributions and services, we focused on strengthening our team and building skills.  We held a First Aid training operated by our partner MET for our volunteers, ensuring they are better equipped to handle emergencies and assess potential challenges. With Ramadan approaching, we have been actively preparing to meet the needs of our community during this important time.
