Awayside Days at Wayside: A Heartfelt, Unforgettable Corporate Volunteering Experience
Shift your perspective. Strengthen your team. Walk alongside community.
Awayside Days are more than a day out of the office volunteering. They’re a meaningful, hands-on immersion into the beating heart of Kings Cross and the mission of Wayside Chapel.
We invite your team to step away from the everyday and into community. It’s a rare chance to roll up your sleeves, connect with each other on a deeper level, and gain real insight into the lived experiences of Sydney’s most vulnerable.
What to Expect
During a powerful, full facilitated day on site at Wayside Chapel Kings Cross, your team (6–10 people) will:
Go on a Walking Tour
Discover the rich, gritty history and hidden stories of Kings Cross. See the area through a new lens, guided by the lived experiences of our community.
Lend a Hand
Take part in meaningful service-based activities — from helping in our rooftop garden to preparing meals or sorting donations.
Share a Meal
Sit down for lunch with the Wayside community. These shared moments of connection and conversation often leave a lasting impression.
Be Inspired
Hear from our staff and community members who walk alongside people doing it tough every day. The stories will stay with you.
Reflect and Connect
Pause, debrief and reflect together. Many teams tell us this time strengthens their culture and perspective long after the day ends.
“This isn’t just a volunteering day — it’s a chance to connect deeply with your team and the community while gaining a fresh perspective on the realities facing our city’s most vulnerable.”
