More than just a place to stay

Families travel from far and often stay long in our Wellington House. Time away from home can mean putting work on hold, being apart from other children, and managing unexpected financial pressure. Our House provides more than just a place to stay — families receive meals, access to family activities, peer support, resources for siblings, respite, laundry facilities and many other services.
