Wesley Mission Melbourne: About

The ongoing success of Wesley Mission Melbourne relies on the generosity of support from individuals, community groups, schools, trusts, foundations, councils, businesses and more.

There are many ways you can get involved and informed, and support our innovative work so that we can continue to assist disadvantaged people to live meaningful lives.

Wesley Mission Melbourne is raising funds by selling the 2008/2009 Entertainment Book. Selling for $65, a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Entertainment Books contributes to supporting disadvantaged people in our community.

The popular Entertainment Books contain hundreds of 25 to 50% off and two-for-one offers from leading restaurants, cinemas, the arts, sporting events and hotel accommodation. There truly is something for everyone, with high value offers from Avis, Warner Bros. Movie World, Crown Towers, Hamilton Island, and many more.
