Neighbour to Neighbour project
The City of Fremantle has developed N2N which is a community project which supports at risk and vulnerable community members during the COVID-19 crisis. People in need of assistance include seniors, people with a disability, people with pre-existing health conditions, people from culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) backgrounds and Indigenous people. The N2N project pairs local volunteers with people needing assistance.
