1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,120
Speaker 1: We already knew that Perth was the most generous town

2
00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:07,640
Speaker 1: around and now it's been confirmed. Acting CEO from Anglicare

3
00:00:07,760 --> 00:00:11,520
Speaker 1: wly Way, Philip Aboldi and Housing coordinator Nick Matheson have

4
00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:16,360
Speaker 1: joined us again this morning. Good morning, Well, we launched

5
00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:20,400
Speaker 1: this three weeks ago, are Carring Coats initiative, collecting coats,

6
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:24,560
Speaker 1: getting donated coats from everyone here at ninety six to

7
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:28,080
Speaker 1: distribute to people who need them, get them straight to them.

8
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:33,319
Speaker 1: It's wrapped up and how wonderful and generous have our

9
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:37,120
Speaker 1: listeners and the people of Perth been amazing amazing, Such

10
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:38,080
Speaker 1: a beautiful sign.

11
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:40,600
Speaker 2: Of generosity from the community to see people responding like

12
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:40,879
Speaker 2: they have.

13
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:43,960
Speaker 1: And one thing we all noticed is the condition of

14
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:46,360
Speaker 1: the coats and people to donate. Were you impressed with

15
00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:50,480
Speaker 1: the condition they came in in, because I guess sometimes

16
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:53,560
Speaker 1: you deal with, you know, people donating stuff that actually

17
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 1: can't even be used, Yeah, and that can.

18
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:57,360
Speaker 2: Be a real challenge for places like op shops, as

19
00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:01,080
Speaker 2: I'm sure people yeah, yeah, no, incredibly press with the quality.

20
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 2: And I think that really speaks to the general city

21
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 2: as well, that people have really thought deeply about what

22
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:07,959
Speaker 2: it means to receive a coat like this.

23
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:09,119
Speaker 3: There were a lot of new.

24
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:10,240

00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:22,759
Speaker 4: So magnificent in that you know somebody would do that,

30
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:24,520

00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:28,680

32
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 1: They're going to put their hand in their pocket and

33
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:32,839
Speaker 1: they're going to pull out ten bucks and a little

34
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 1: personalized note which we won't say what they said, level trying,
