Miners group celebrates double whammy

Ms White, who joined the Joondalup-based charity in 2011, won the Women in Industry rising star award on June 25, having also secured a vehicle for another two years.

The legacy organisation started in 2010 to help resource workers and their families when they face injury, illness and loss of life.

Pilbara Motor Group donated a four-wheel-drive to the charity two years ago and recently agreed to continue providing that support for another two years, with the vehicle used to visit mine sites across WA.

Ms White said Miners’ Promise was also an advocacy and referral service, with access to screened professionals ready to assist with everyday needs.
