Wesley Mission Queensland

Founded in the 1900s to provide meals to children and women in need, Wesley Mission Queensland now operates as a mission activity of the Albert Street Uniting Church. They work collaboratively with other Uniting Church congregations, community organisations and government bodies to provide accessible and flexible services to older people, those living with a disability or mental illness, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders, refugees and vulnerable children and families. WMQ celebrates diversity and inclusion and provides a positive experience for the LGBTQIAP+ community in Logan.

Wesley Mission Queensland have been awarded a PFA Small Grant towards funding an LGBTQIAP+ youth art wellbeing session for up to 15 participants to celebrate Wear It Purple Day. The facilitated workshop will allow participants to explore and discover more about themselves and their LGBTQIAP+ identity in a safe and supported environment, while creating their own artwork.
