Centre 81
Centre 81 is our drop-in centre which is open Tuesday and Friday mornings from 10:00 am - 12:00 noon. It is located at 81 Doncaster East Road, at the north-western corner of the Mountview UCA property.
Day-to-day planning and operations of this mission is by the Centre 81 Management Committee, which is a committee of the Church Council.
Our centre opened in May 1989 and has been offering companionship, referrals, care packages and food parcels for those in need for over 30 years.
During 2021, and even though the pandemic continues, our services expanded to include practical local support for the new homeless accomodation service run by Uniting VicTas, 'Marrageil Baggarrook', co-located on Mountview's site. While Uniting focus upon helping clients with temporary accommodation, facilitating government support and transitions, Centre 81 provides welcome hampers to new residents and assistance about local community amenities, services, transport and retail; plus all our usual fellowship and support.

Charities Christmas Card Shop
A seasonal aspect of our Centre 81 service is the running of our Charities' Christmas Cards Shop in the months leading up to Christmas. This temporary shop is able to provide the wider community with a large variety of cards reflecting the religious season, plus has the added benefit of raising much needed funds for both the charities that we sell for and our own services to the needy which are under greater strain over the Christmas period. Due to impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic, our shop will NOT be operating for the 2021 season.
Our shop may be feasible for the 2022 Christmas season. Contact Centre 81 for queries.
