LSCPH Annual Report 2021

POWER HOUSE WALKS THE WALK
The need is clear, in fact it has magnified through the global
pandemic. Communities have become isolated, the mental
health and wellbeing bill for Australia is now at $7.9B per
annum, 31.5% young people are underemployed and 50% of
them feel alone.*
Power House has continued to walk the walk beyond the
pandemic by providing strong services through its volunteers and
community tenants alike across community programs, hospitality,
jobs and traineeships, theatre & creative arts, sport and charity
support programs.
Power House is a proven social enterprise, contributing over $3m
in revenue back into the community through health and wellbeing
programs over the past decade alone. Furthermore, our members
and volunteers have contributed over 1.3 million volunteer hours in
the community, with 43% of those aged under 30.
Modernised infrastructure will continue to grow and secure a
thriving social enterprise that supports jobs and traineeship
pathways through community development programs, sports,
arts and hospitality.
