The West End Waiter's Union

Dave and Ange and their friends founded The Waiters' Union as a network of spiritually minded activists who work with marginalised and disadvantaged people in West End. The Waiter's Union is a network of residents living in the locality working towards community with all people, particularly trying to include this who tend to be excluded. The Waiters Union are involved in multiple formal and non formal activities, including a Community Meal they have hosted every fortnight for the last twenty-five years, to which local people are invited. Many of these activities are listed in the Waiters Union website at www.waitersunion.org. These activities try to encourage a culture of radical compassion, reciprocal support and mutual accountability.
