Sports United
Wesley Mission needs you to make an Olympian effort to help the homeless.
Join Nick Farr-Jones on 15th May 2012 for a very special sporting event in the CBD.
About the event
This is the third annual Sports United fundraising lunch hosted by Wesley Mission board member and former Wallaby Nick Farr-Jones. You’ll be rubbing shoulders with some popular sporting personalities, past and present, as well as other people, like you, who are prepared to put in a gold medal-winning performance by donating $500 or more to Wesley Mission.
Sports United was a tremendous success last year and raised more than $60,000 for the homeless. In this year of Olympic bests, we want to beat that record.
Register your attendance by contacting us on 9263 5449 or, if you can’t make it, please consider donating to Wesley Mission to support our work in homeless services.

Wesley Mission's work with the homeless
When a person slides into homelessness, almost every other problem in their life worsens - substance abuse, mental health problems, relationship breakdowns or problems with the law. Wesley Mission’s programs provide stability and security so people can begin to address the areas in their lives that have contributed to their homelessness. Services include crisis and longer-term accommodation for individuals, families, young people and the elderly.
Wesley Mission also provides support services such as counselling and referrals to other welfare services.
Our Short-term Unit program at Carlingford is one of very few in Sydney which can accommodate families consisting of couples with children, sole fathers and large families.
In Liverpool, the Noreen Towers Community is a response to the high rate of homeless families. Working with Community Services and the Department of Housing, Wesley Mission has created an innovative community that combines access to family accommodation with family support and group work services.
It costs money to build and maintain accommodation for homeless people and to employ the counsellors and social workers who help get them back on their feet. Your support can help individuals and families trapped in the terrible experience of homelessness.
