Adopt a Room
 
The Cancer Council WA provides two self-catering accommodation lodges in Perth, offering a welcoming home away from home for regional cancer patients and their carers while they attend treatment and cancer-related appointments in the metropolitan area.
 
Supporting Regional Cancer Patients Through Milroy Lodge
 
The lodges provide comfortable, clean, and secure motel-style accommodation, along with access to on-site support services. A dedicated Cancer Support Coordinator is available to assist guests and their families by providing practical, emotional, and social support throughout their cancer journey. The Rotary Club of Western Endeavour proudly sponsors Room 302 at Milroy Lodge, helping to ensure affordable accommodation remains available for those travelling long distances to access treatment.

Rotary Supporting My Home update October 2026

From a Vision to Changing Lives

Thirty homes completed. Hundreds of thousands of dollars raised. And a commitment to keep changing lives. Our club is part of a collective committed to changing lives.
 
What began as a vision to provide safe, secure housing for people experiencing homelessness has become a remarkable example of Rotary clubs working together with other service organisations to create lasting community impact.
 
The journey began with My Home, founded by Rotarian and architect Michelle Blakeley, who believed that people experiencing homelessness deserved more than temporary shelter. They deserved a safe, permanent place to call home. Rotary WA accepted the challenge of helping turn those houses into fully furnished welcoming homes.
 
In 2023, the first 18 homes opened in North Fremantle, providing secure accommodation for women over 55 who had experienced homelessness. Rotary
and its partners contributed $125,000 towards furnishing and equipping these homes. Building on that success, 12 more homes were completed in Albany in 2026, with Rotary and its partners contributing another $72,000.

Miyawaki Forest/Bush Classroom project
 
Pocket forests are popping up around the country in spaces as small as a car parking spot, a tennis court or a street verge. Ecologist Dr Grey Coupland from the Harry Perkins Institute at Murdoch University sees huge potential in the rise of 'tiny forests' and is championing their development in Perth. The pocket forests are grown using the Miyawaki method, created by Japanese botanist Akira Miyawaki in the 1970s.
 
The Miyawaki Method is an approach for creating hyper-dense patches of native vegetation on small plots of land. The method uses a four-step technique of botanical research, soil enhancement via added nutrients, planting of dense clusters of seeds, and maintenance. Proponents of the method claim that it grows up to 10 times faster than traditional plant growth and that planted areas are self-sustaining after 2-3 years.

Foodbank Volunteering
  
 
After a brief overview, a tour of the facility and watching a safety video, a team of club members and their partners spent their morning packing food parcels at Foodbank last week. We worked in an assembly line putting together packs of food which will be made available for purchase by customers of Foodbank.
 
Our club also supports Foodbank by running a Cans for Christmas collection, usually at the end of November so contact us if you are interested in donating or helping out.

Rotary Club of Western Endeavour’s International project in Kenya

In 2007 our club was alerted to a situation in the Maasai village of Kimuka in Kenya. We were made aware that even getting clean water was not possible, so our first task was to install a rainwater tank to the school.

This engagement led us to becoming aware that many children couldn’t attend the primary school because they couldn’t afford the state required uniform or shoes. We were able to supply these and also funded an extra teacher.
