Our story

At Good Sammy Enterprises we are driven by our core purpose to create employment opportunities for people with disability.

In 1958 Bernice Moorhouse became the first employee of Good Sammy, after inspiring Reverend Ralph Sutton with her request for employment. Reverend Sutton, the leader of the Wesley Mission in Western Australia, responded to Bernice’s request by engaging the members of his parish to donate unwanted clothing. In this role Ms Moorhouse’s hearing impairment had no impact as she sorted, washed, and mended donations before on-selling for a small price, working out of a small room at the rear of the Wesley Mission.

More than half century later we remain driven by this purpose.

Good Sammy Enterprises remains an agency of the Uniting Church and from that small room at the Wesley Mission, we now provide employment to hundreds of people across Western Australia.
