In the first night after Lifeline launched in 1963, 100 crisis calls were received, and in the first year they received over 11,000. Today, Lifeline Sydney & Sutherland takes more than 40,000 calls per year, providing a lifeline to those who need it most.
In April 2024, Lifeline recorded its biggest number of calls for support in a single day. Wesley Lifeforce is also working towards an Australia free of su***de, helping to save lives and offer hope.
Together, letโs work towards a future where no one faces crisis alone.

For over 20 years, Sir Rev Alan Walker was an advocate for those in need. Witnessing the growing number of crisis calls, he responded by founding Lifeline - a centralised 24/7 telephone crisis support service launched in 1963. Through his compassion and dedication, Lifeline has since aided millions globally.
As we remember Sir Rev Alan Walkerโs legacy, let's continue his mission to bring hope and support to those in crisis. Together, we can help more people .
If you or someone you know has lost a loved one to su***de, know that youโre not alone. Join a supportive community at the Wesley LifeForce Su***de Memorial Service and together we'll remember and honour lives lost to su***de๐ป

The continued cost-of-living and housing affordability crises mean more people simply cannot afford accommodation. Once homeless, itโs extremely difficult to regain stability and secure housing.
๐๏ธ In 12 months, we supported 3,748 people experiencing homelessness and provided 105,252 nights of accommodation.
๐ For almost 30% of those we supported, financial difficulties and housing affordability stress were the main reasons they needed help.
Itโs time for a unified commitment to make homelessness rare, brief and non-recurring.

What a privilege it was to host 130+ members from local community groups ๐ค at Wesley Lifeforceโs national su***de prevention conference last weekend!
An incredible few days of community, culture and collaboration ๐๐ค, the conference began with our First Nations Gathering where we delved deeper into supporting and working with our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.
Over the following days, community action groups from across the country came together to build new connections and strengthen existing ones so together we can continue to reduce the rate of su***de in Australia.
We heard from inspiring speakers including Colin Seery, Lifeline Australia CEO, Katherine Newton, R U OK? CEO, Ashley Fell from McCrindle, Taliah King and Jeffrey Morgan.
On Sunday, we paused to honour those lost to su***de and those left behind with a moving memorial service.

โBeing a teenager is hard. Itโs hard enough existing, and then you add all of these extra pressures on top, like homelessness,โ Julz says.
Meet Julz. Sheโs a Youth Housing Worker for Wesley Youth Accommodation, our crisis refuge on the Mid North Coast of NSW. Mostly working night shifts and weekends, Julz helps teenagers who have no place to call home, get back on their feet by:
๐ฝ๏ธ Setting a consistent routine with mealtimes and chores.
๐ฉโ๐ณ Teaching life skills such as cooking and cleaning.
๐ Providing a listening ear.
๐ก Working towards employment and housing goals.
๐ฐ Support with managing finances.
Our voices are most powerful when used in unison. This NAIDOC Week, weโre celebrating the voices of all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people โ past, present and emerging โ who have and continue to courageously share their stories, culture and wisdom to keep the fire burning.

โ๏ธ Did you know Wesley Edward Eagar Centre began with a simple invitation to church?
Wesley Mission minister, Noreen was just 23 when she asked two men, who were sleeping rough, to attend her new church.
The church quickly grew to 100 people within its 1st year and became a refuge for people experiencing homelessness to enjoy bread, jam, a cuppa, Bible study and choir โช
In 1979, Noreen moved the church to Wesley Edward Eagar Centreโs current location in Sydney and began offering emergency accommodation ๐จ
Noreenโs legacy lives on through the Centre, which continues to help thousands of people journey out of homelessness today ๐
โI felt so tiny in such a big situation,โ says Emily.*
Emily never imagined sheโd leave her family home at just 17. But she no longer felt safe.
After couch surfing for a few days, Emily breathed a sigh of relief when her Year Advisor gave her a flyer for Wesley Youth Accommodation, our youth crisis refuge on the Mid North Coast.
โI could take a breath because... I have somewhere stable to stay,โ Emily says.
After escaping an abusive home, Emily no longer trusted adults. But after meeting Halen, our accredited therapy dog, their bond became integral to Emilyโs journey to trusting adults again.
That trust first began with Julz, our Youth Housing Worker.
โI was very shut off, Emily says. โBut with Julz, I didn't have to.โ
With our support, Emily regained her trust in adults and is now living independently all while pursuing her goal of becoming a vet nurse (thanks Halen ๐ถ).

Congratulations Georgina on becoming a NSW Training Awards finalist for the Vocational Student of the Year Award in Central and Northern Sydney region ๐
When Georgina missed out on getting into a physiotherapy degree by half a mark, she was devastated. But Georgina wasnโt ready to give up on her dream.
Leaving behind her family, Georgina moved to Queensland for 2 years to study a Doctor of Physiotherapy. Her sacrifice paid off because Georgina is now a senior physiotherapist at St Lukeโs Clinic.
Georginaโs determination to build her career didnโt stop with just a job. She completed a leadership and management course at Wesley Vocational Institute (WVI)*, which enabled her to pursue leadership opportunities in her workplace and eventually, led to her award nomination!
"Georgina serves as an inspiration to aspiring vocational students everywhere. Her journey exemplifies the rewards of hard work, determination and a commitment to continuous learning,โ says Steve, Area Manager, WVI Sydney.
Georgina, our WVI team is so proud of your finalist award achievement ๐
And we think the smile on Georginaโs face speaks for itself ๐
