Charity Overview

The Wayside Chapel has provided unconditional love, care and support for homeless people on and around the streets of Kings Cross since 1964. Today The Wayside Chapel runs a community centre, youth space and outreach service, mental health programme and community cafe. All the programmes have been developed to ensure the most disadvantaged members of the Kings Cross community have access to essential health, welfare, social and recreational services. In 2013 the charity provided over 80,000 instances of support to people seeking help or a place of solace where they could feel included and accepted.
