Burwood Community Welfare Services Inc. (BCWS) is a multi-purpose, Not for Profit Charitable Organisation, house in Skead House Neighbourhood Centre. Our mission is to provide practical and emotional support to the disadvantaged, vulnerable and at-risk members of our community. Our vision is for a just and inclusive society that values every individual equally, recognising and affirming those in need.

In January 2013 Burwood Community Welfare Services (BCWS)  had no choice but to move from its central location within Burwood CBD to a more remote premises which is no longer within Burwood CBD.
Our new premises are not located close to public transport.

Since our relocation visitors to the Centre have dropped dramatically.  We are currently borrowing a bus twice a week in order to conduct a shuttle service, however the community's demand for a bus is much greater than what we can provide without a BCWS owned bus.

5 reasons why BCWS needs their own bus

- To support people living with disabilities, elderly and mothers with children at accessing our facilities.

- To reduce social isolation within the community by providing social outings for people in need.

- To provide consistent and reliable service to the community (which we cannot do while dependant on the borrowed bus)

- To increase access to BCWS (which has decreased significantly since the move)

- To increase volunteer participation within BCWS. BCWS have had a decline in volunteer participation due to our location. (BCWS relies heavily on volunteer participation to deliver its service.­)

BCWS has been fundraising to raise funds to purchase our own bus so we can run a shuttle service 5 days a week. To allow people within the Inner West of Sydney access our services

We are almost half way to our goal of $70k we still need, $37k to reach our target.


Any help would be greatly appreciated. All donations are tax Deductible. We are grateful for such generous people and by your donations it will allow

“BCWS  to make the Inner West a better place – We just need your help in securing donations so we can purchase a bus”
