Wesley Mission makes a difference to the lives of thousands of people every day through community support programs, child and family, youth and aged care services. For almost 200 years the Wesley Mission community has embraced the vulnerable and marginalised, including the lonely, hurt, homeless, mentally ill, aged, disabled and unemployed. It believes that it takes love, faith, and commitment to engage actively in the lives of those around us. For more information visit www.wesleymission.org.au


Our vision is to create an environment where young people can grow up in safety, with hope and opportunity.

Our mission is to provide all the resources necessary to enable young people to achieve their full potential, thereby influencing our community to do all they can to eliminate issues facing young people in crisis.

Our goal at the Sir David Martin Foundation is to get more young people off the streets, away from unhealthy situations and into care and rehabilitation. We aim to encourage in them a new sense of self belief so that they can face the community at large without the need for drugs, crime and homelessness.
