What We Do
Meeting unmet needs
Our vision is to provide hope, stability and support for the most vulnerable members in our community, through a range of programs and the ongoing tailored support for the residents from Avalon volunteers and partners.
Avalon Homes For The Homeless
Our goal is to provide affordable homes with ongoing tailored support for the homeless.
Clothes and Bedding Distribution
We provide clothing, bedding, toiletries and shoes to people who are living on the streets who are disadvantaged, living in low economic conditions or who are Asylum Seekers.
The Avalon Drop-in
Avalon has run the Drop-In programme for over 26 years. Come along to relax in a warm and welcoming environment, have a cuppa, meet new friends or catch up with old ones.

Avalon’s mini bus, ‘The Moving Heart of Gold’, goes on outings to an array of interesting and exciting locations.
