A future we believe in.

We believe in a world where everyone has the right to live their life to the fullest potential. Where everyone can participate in society and is treated with respect.

Empowering our communities.

Our communities deserve services which will enable them to thrive. Through collaboration and partnerships with like-minded organisations and governments we work to ensure everyone has equal access to the services they need.

The Ruffy Swag Project is one such partnership. Led by Uniting Wodonga, this new initiative is a collaboration between the Beechworth Correctional Centre, Carevan and Uniting congregations aimed at providing bedding and warmth for those experiencing homelessness. 

We also know that those with lived experience have the skills and wisdom to help us address social issues. That’s why we value the vital partnerships of people like Eva who first came to Australia with her family seeking asylum.

Eva’s early days in Australia were challenging but her family received vital support from Uniting’s Asylum Seeker Welcome Centre such as food, shelter and a sense of belonging. Today, Eva shares that partnering with Uniting is her way of turning these challenging experiences into something meaningful and giving back.  Read more about Eva and other people we support towards a brighter future below.
