Our Projects

Current Outreach

Support our 2024 – 2025 Homelessness Outreach program, every second Sunday of the month by volunteering your time. You can also help support GUIH through cash donations so that we can continue to reach out to vulnerable people in the streets of Melbourne CBD, St Albans-Tin Shed, Sunbury (Goonawarra Neighbourhood House), SE Suburbs, and Wyndham areas. Our mentor/buddy support program is also expanding, and we need more mentors to support more vulnerable people engaging with this program. Please volunteer and make a difference in people’s life’s.

Eradicating Homelessness is everyone’s responsibility.

Join GUIH in finding ways we can build bridges to support this vulnerable cohort of people who just need that additional help and support.

If you would like to donate towards this cause please donate to our bank accounts listed on this website. Every dollar donated toward this project will go towards issuing food packs, essential items and in some cases emergency accommodation.

Our Mentor Outreach and Mentoring Program

Through this program we engage with people sleeping it rough in the streets. We make them feel wanted and respected. We engage with them giving them hope through our support. We identify their strengths and encourage them in moving forward. We add value and build their confidence through small measurable steps.
