LOCAL not-for-profit group Ruah Community Services has celebrated the opening of its new Fremantle satellite office.
After spending eight years on South Terrace, the organisation held a special event on Thursday to celebrate the move to a new home on Norfolk Street. Chief executive Debra Zanella said the new location would enable the group to further help its clients by offering more programs and services tackling homelessness, family and domestic violence and mental health issues.
“The Norfolk Street office allows us to deliver more comprehensive services in the community and create an environment that is appropriate and accessible for clients,” she said.
