Balcatta Chaplains

Support my challenge to care for young Western Australians

Every school day across Western Australia, 250,000 students walk into a school where someone knows their name. In 2025, YouthCARE chaplains and volunteers showed up in 600 school communities and 38 sporting clubs across the state, from the Kimberley to the Great Southern.

They sat with students navigating hard things, served nearly 700,000 meals through Breakfast Club, delivered 30,760 wellbeing sessions, and supported more than 10,000 athletes and their families on the sidelines.

260,000 people. One consistent presence. Ridiculously good care.

Your support helps provide ridiculously good care to young Western Australians.

Ridiculously Good Jammers

If you like jam, you will LOVE this!

Pick up some some homemade jam or marmalade for a good cause (it's what Paddingdon would do!) Where else can you get a tax deductible, delectable and delicious spread?

Why give your money to a big supermarket chain when you can give it to children in need!

Take a jar, and donate any amount straight to YouthCARE chaplaincy in WA.

From breakfast clubs, to GRIT resilience courses, to providing pastoral care and practical assistance to students, teachers, parents and the wider school community.

Chaplains are right there at the forefront providing care and support where it is needed most.

Show your support to chaplaincy in WA by purchasing a jar of jam for change!
