Replacement windows and front door at Wesley Centre

The Wesley Centre in Ringwood has stood for decades as a cornerstone of community life — a welcoming space where friendships are forged, support is offered, and vital local services come together.

Used by a wide range of groups — from youth programmes and mental health support to arts clubs, senior gatherings, martial arts, dance and charity organisations — the Centre is more than just a building. It’s a refuge, a meeting place, and a lifeline for so many.

But right now, the Centre is facing an urgent challenge. The windows and doors, worn from years of service, are no longer weatherproof and in need of replacing. Cold air seeps in during the winter months, heating costs have soared, and accessibility has become an issue. Without replacements, this cherished space may become increasingly difficult — and costly — to run safely.

We’re aiming to raise funds for much-needed replacement windows and doors, which will dramatically improve energy efficiency, comfort, and access for everyone who uses the Centre. Every donation—big or small — gets us closer to our goal of keeping this space open, warm, and welcoming for all.

Whether you’ve attended an event, volunteered, or simply believe in strong community hubs, please consider supporting us. And if you can’t donate right now, sharing this campaign would mean the world.

Together, we can protect The Wesley Centre — for today, and for future generations of Ringwood. Thank you for being part of our community.
