Grassroots practical help across Western Australia
WAssup is a grassroots Western Australian initiative turning 10-cent containers, donations and goodwill into practical help.
WAssup's current focus is the WAssup 108 Speakers Program — placing portable speaker-and-microphone kits where young people can connect, create and be heard.
The WAssup 108 Speakers Program
The WAssup 108 Speakers Program will place 108 JBL PartyBox On-The-Go 2 Plus speakers, each with two wireless microphones, with carefully selected youth and community organisations.
From remote communities to cities across WA, these kits can support youth drop-ins, workshops on Country, cultural activities, karaoke nights, performances, school-holiday programs and community events.
The test is simple: every speaker must be used, cared for and shared — not left sitting in a cupboard.
Program figures reconciled 14 October 2026: 46 confirmed WA locations, 2 official kits purchased and 2 delivered. Current financial details are published on the Trust & Accountability page. Speaker #3 for Broome Youth & Families Hub is funded at the recorded base price and awaiting purchase.
Speaker #3 • funded, awaiting purchase
BYFH was the first organisation to say yes to the program. The available $479.68 now covers the recorded $422.02 base speaker price, leaving $57.66 before freight. The kit is awaiting purchase and delivery.

The second official delivery
Freedom Centre in Leederville provides a safe, welcoming space for LGBTQIA+ young people and now holds the second official WAssup kit.
The JBL PartyBox On-The-Go 2 Plus and its two wireless microphones were purchased on 9 September and delivered on 21 September 2026. The kit can support social activities, creative programs, karaoke and events.
The proof of concept
Before the WAssup 108 Speakers Program officially began, three JBL speaker-and-microphone kits were delivered to community organisations.
Denmark Community Resource Centre
Marra Worra Worra Aboriginal Corporation
Avon Community Services
These three earlier donations proved the concept: put useful equipment in the hands of organisations already doing the work, and it gets used.
They are proudly recognised as the inspiration for the program, but they are not counted in the official 108 tally.
Now the 108 begins.
Practical, portable and ready to use
Music creates energy, connection and belonging. A microphone gives young people the chance to speak, perform, lead and be heard.
One portable kit can be used across dozens of activities. It can become the soundtrack for a youth drop-in, the microphone at a workshop, the music at a community celebration or the equipment that helps a young performer find their confidence.
It is practical, portable and ready to use.
Because every young person deserves to be heard.
Ready and waiting
WAssup now has 46 confirmed WA locations, represented by Aboriginal corporations, community resource centres, youth services, schools and grassroots organisations.
They stretch from the Kimberley and Pilbara through the Mid West & Gascoyne, Goldfields-Esperance, Wheatbelt, Great Southern, South West and metropolitan Perth.
Two official kits have been purchased and delivered. 62 locations remain to be confirmed, and Speaker #3 for Broome Youth & Families Hub is funded at the recorded base price and awaiting purchase.
Ten cents can make some noise
Your empty drink containers can help fund delivery and the next WAssup speakers. Speakers #1 and #2 have been delivered to Mulan and Freedom Centre.
Take your eligible containers to any Containers for Change refund point and use the WAssup scheme ID:
Every container donated through the WAssup code helps fund the 108 Speakers Program.
Collect them at home. Start a workplace collection. Ask your school, club, café or community group to get involved. Ten cents may feel small, but thousands of containers can put music and microphones into another community.
Be part of the next delivery
Every contribution brings the next delivery closer.
Equipment for community use
Scott’s own JBL PartyBox Club 120 and On-The-Go 2 are available for organisations to borrow by arrangement. These are personal, earlier models, separate from the kits donated through the 108 Speakers Program.
Small, grassroots and accountable
WAssup Community Services was founded by Scott Bibby with a simple belief: you do not need to be a large organisation to do something useful.
Scott listens, connects people and resources, and supports practical ideas communities can genuinely use.
Community service first, ego last. One useful act at a time.
WAssup Community Services is currently operated by Scott Bibby under ABN 49 495 986 762. WAssup is not yet a registered charity, so donations are not currently tax deductible.
Program income, money applied or spent, balances and deliveries are recorded, with public updates showing what has been raised and where each speaker goes.
Speakers #1 and #2 delivered • Speaker #3 funded
Two official kits have been purchased and delivered. Speaker #3 for Broome Youth & Families Hub is now funded at the recorded base price and awaiting purchase. Your support helps with delivery and the next speaker placements.
Donate your 10-cent containers, make a direct donation, sponsor part of a speaker or share the program. Every contribution brings the next WAssup speaker-and-microphone kit closer.
Community will look after community — one speaker at a time.
