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.
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 that moments of transformation can and do happen, and that they move people towards health and healing.

A triumph of community and a testament to the strength and diversity of the unique characters that call Kings Cross home, Wayside is a book that reaches right into the soul of Sydney.
This is no ordinary honey. Wayside Chapel’s Honey is made by bees living on the rooftop of our building in Kings Cross and harvested by the participants in our Day to Day Living Program. Our honey is pure, single origin and unprocessed. You won’t find a jar of honey filled with more love than our Wayside Honey.

Wayside Chapel expanded its care beyond its building and onto the streets to ensure support was provided to those who are most marginalised, isolated and at risk, especially those dealing with homelessness. New street outreach teams were mobilised during the COVID-19 lockdown to deliver food and care packs to people experiencing homelessness, as well as to front doors of people who are house-bound at home, but still in of need of care and connection.

The Wingspan Project is a training and employment initiative providing opportunities for young people (17-25) to take control of their lives. Through the program, they are gradually empowered by one-on-one support focussing on both physical and mental wellbeing. Participants are therefore enabled to progress their lives through training and employment.
