After experiencing her own trauma, Angel became passionate about helping others in need and as a result opened the Purton Place Pre-loved Op Shop in 2018. Since that time, Angel and her team have been working tirelessly to change the lives of those struggling in the community for the better.

 

The shop also serves as a half-way home for victims of domestic violence, and the staff are constantly going above and beyond to do whatever they can to help those in need in the community.
