Bringing the community together

Proudly supported by Mobil, Williamstown Community and Education Centre is making a difference to the lives of community members with a program of social activities aimed at engaging locals experiencing isolation and hardship.

The Williamstown Community and Education Centre (WCEC) is an award-winning leader in community services and has been an integral part of Williamstown since its establishment in 1974. Their mission is to provide affordable, relevant and quality programs for everyone in a supportive environment.

The Centre holds free activities such as the regular Willy Walking Group and Community Morning Teas, as well as Community BBQS held bi-monthly.

Events are attended by over 60 locals, with a majority disadvantaged or unemployed, or are recently arrived refugees and migrants.

“Good food, good company and activity are vital to ensure vulnerable people are not isolated and facing loneliness, but are socially active people in our community,” WCEC CEO Mark Brophy said.

The team at Mobil Altona Terminal are proud of the ongoing relationship with WCEC and how this latest contribution is having a positive impact on many in the community.

Mobil Altona Terminal Manager Rhys Kelly said, “The Williamstown Community and Education Centre plays an important role in engaging locals experiencing challenging times and we’re proud to support social activities that can make a real difference in people’s lives.”

Mark said, “Mobil’s support for our community activities program is invaluable to our community. These activities allow local disadvantaged groups to meet others, get some exercise, and most importantly get a great feed!

“We are sincerely appreciative of this vital support.”
