CELEBRATION SUNDAY
Join us for a very special free event to thank Rev Graham Long AM for his contribution to Wayside
Sunday 26, August 2018
Our mission is creating community with no ‘us and them’. We do this by breaking down the barriers of judgement and providing a safe place where people from all walks of life are welcome.
Our vision is ‘love over hate’.
At Wayside, we see everyone as a person to be met, not a problem to be solved.
We are proud to have been providing unconditional love, care and support for people on and around the streets since 1964.
Our door is open 7 days a week for all of our neighbours regardless of their circumstances. Through opportunities to connect, we see moments of transformation can and do happen, and they move people towards health and healing.
