Message from our leaders
Dear Friends of Our Place,
The past year showed us just how much positive change is happening in Victoria. It may not always be visible at first glance, and often it happens quietly. Change looks different for
every person. But when we reflect on this past year and spend time with the people you’ve supported through Our Place, it is impossible not to be moved by the difference you have
made in their lives.
The numbers in this report are powerful markers of your impact: more than 780,000 meals served, hundreds of people receiving medical care, 456 individuals housed each night, hundreds of nights of safe shelter provided, more than 100 people supported in long-term addiction recovery programs, and many more finding purpose and employment through our
landscaping social enterprise. This year also saw the launch of important new programs, including Reunification House—safe family housing that allows graduates of the New Roads
Women’s Therapeutic Recovery Community to reunite and live with their children while continuing their recovery journey. We also expanded our sober housing options to ensure
more people have the support they need as they transition toward independence.
Behind every number is a person. Someone walking through the doors of the Our Place Community Centre for the first time, uncertain and exhausted, and being welcomed with warmth, dignity, into a community of belonging. Someone finding a safe place to sleep, accessing medical care, sharing a meal, entering addiction recovery, securing housing, reconnecting with family, or taking the next step toward a transformed future.
These moments are not isolated. They are part of an intentional Pathway of Support that we have built over many years—one that recognizes that lasting change happens step by step. Every program, service, and relationship represented in these pages is connected, helping people move from surviving to thriving.
Most importantly, these are lives that have been changed—and, in some cases, saved— because of your support.
In the pages that follow, you’ll see how your generosity was put to work throughout our community. You’ll find the stories, outcomes, and milestones that illustrate the impact of each step along the Pathway of Support. Together, they tell a story of resilience, healing, hope, and transformation.
Thank you for making these journeys possible. Thank you for believing in people, standing alongside them, and helping create a community where everyone has the opportunity to move forward toward stability, belonging, and a brighter future.
With gratitude,
Julian Daly, CEO and Allan Saunders, Board Chair
