Get help and build connection at Salvos
Visit us at 88 Hartley Street: Monday to Friday, 9am–12.30pm.
We believe in good for you
Whether you want to connect with others, enjoy creative activities, or access support services, the Salvos are here for you.
Painting is a key part of our community, but there’s much more on offer. The Waterhole also provides practical support, including showers, washing machines, and emergency relief. Our team can help with short-term needs, provide referrals to other support services, or simply offer a safe, friendly place to rest, connect, and enjoy a cup of tea.
Depending on your situation, and what we have available, we also may be able to provide you with vouchers for food, or fuel and help you find emergency accommodation.
If you are experiencing financial hardship or are facing a crisis, contact us to find out how we can support you.
Emergency relief
For all-year financial support, call us and a team member will have a compassionate conversation with you to understand your needs and let you know what help is available.
Financial counselling
The Salvation Army’s free financial counselling service, Moneycare, is here to help you feel in control of your finances. We can work with you to manage your debt, develop new strategies or you may like to explore our free eBook. We can also point you in the right direction for a No Interest Loan.
Call us or talk to a financial counsellor online.
Christmas support
Available from the first week of November
If the joy of the festive season feels out of reach, contact us. We may be able to support you with a food or toy hamper.
