angelhands Inc is one of the volunteer-based organisations named as the finalist of the Community Services Excellence Awards 2014.

The awards, held every two years, are a partnership between the Department of Local Government and Communities, and the WA Council of Social Service.

Community Services Minister, Tony Simpson, said the awards were a great opportunity to celebrate the successes of Western Australia’s not-for-profit sector.

“The State Government recognises that these organisations are best placed to deliver services to some of our State’s most vulnerable people.  It will continue to work in partnership with organisations such as the WA Council of Social Service to build a strong and sustainable community services sector,” the Minister said.

Winners will be announced at a ceremony on May 6.  For more information, visit http://www.wacoss.org.au/CSEA2014

The awards are funded by Lotterywest, the Department of Local Government and Communities, Department of Regional Development, Synergy and the Water Corporation. Other supporters include Hesta and Beyond Bank Australia.
