Saving people from the streets with Jo Westh


Listen Later

Jo Westh is on a mission to help vulnerable people in our community, particularly girls and women who experience domestic violence or homelessness. She is convinced that connection can solve most of our problems. Launching 4 Voices, a charity whose focus is connection, in March 2020, a week before the world shut down due to COVID 19, wasn’t planned or ideal. Jo’s determination to build 4 Voices was fuelled by the previous experience she had at Orange Sky. Her son and his best mate put two washing machines and two dryers into the back of their old van and started washing clothes for people who were homeless in Brisbane. She happily helped them out for several years as CEO  during which time she learned a lot about homelessness and the immense difference that connection can make to a person who is marginalised by the majority of the community. 4 Voices delivers social and digital connection services from a bright purple van outfitted with a lot of technology and most importantly a coffee machine!
