THE Fremantle Dockers players donated $20,000 to St Pat’s this week during a visit to the Fremantle charity’s community support centre. 

According to St Pat’s, the money will go towards building an ‘engagement hub’ which will assist people experiencing homelessness. 

The new development will provide services to people doing it tough including food, showers, healthcare, and dental care. 

Fremantle captain Alex Pearce says he is “really proud” of the team’s efforts to donate money to the engagement hub. 

“It’s always good to have moments like this where we step away from the training track and acknowledge we do have a bigger role in society and within the Freo community,” Pearce said. 

“Hopefully this donation is a small step in a larger goal St Pat’s have, and that will help to provide greater services for people, and aim to end homelessness.” 

The new facility is due to open at the end of this year.
