A Double Dose of Volunteering at Local Charity Dismantle

A rewarding experience with social impact.

Volunteering with Dismantle has become one of the most popular wellbeing initiatives among WATC staff.

We were fortunate to take part in two sessions over the past few months, once in December and another in February, giving staff the opportunity to get involved and contribute to Dismantle’s Youth Outreach and Engagement Program.

Dismantle is a charity based in Burswood that aims to ‘dismantle’ barriers faced by vulnerable Western Australian youth. Through its BikeRescue program, Dismantle uses bicycle mechanic activities and mentors to help young people develop social skills, build confidence and connect to educational and vocational opportunities. 

WATC’s volunteers rolled up their sleeves and participated in a variety of activities ranging from repairing bikes to setting up equipment. With 10 attendees in December and 12 in February, our volunteers saw and heard about the tangible impact made on the lives of young Western Australians, making volunteering with Dismantle an incredibly rewarding experience.
