The Ace of Clubs provides a welcoming space for people experiencing homelessness, vulnerability, and marginalisation. More than just a day centre, Ace of Clubs is a family-like community where individuals are met with dignity, compassion, and genuine care.
Their centre is located on St Alphonsus Road. Ace of Clubs provides essential, immediate support for those facing difficult circumstances. Guests can access safe shelter, nutritious food, warm clothing, laundry facilities, and showers, basic needs that form the foundation for stability and wellbeing.
Through kindness, consistency, and meaningful relationships, the team creates an environment where people feel seen and valued. From this supportive starting point, staff work closely with individuals to help them move forward, connecting them with vital services such as accommodation, welfare support, rehabilitation, training, and healthcare.
