At Paterson & Dowding we are committed to working with those in the community who require a helping hand. With the festive season approaching, which for many families can be a difficult and challenging time, both the staff and the firm have put together some donation boxes for the Women’s refuges in and around the Perth metropolitan area. We hope this will help provide some assistance to those who need it.
