The Don Bosco Hostel & Youth Centre in Brunswick has been a cornerstone of our community for generations. It's a place where our children have grown up, playing, sharing laughs, and forming lifelong friendships. A place where families come together, where we find unity and communal strength. It's not just a building; it's woven into the fabric of who we are.

For the first time in 87 years, this beloved community hub is on the market, being offered via Expressions of Interest, and set to close on Thursday, August 20, 2026. The thought of losing such an essential part of our community is heartbreaking. As a place that has offered a safe environment for our youth to be active, communicate, and unite, it's crucial we act now.

The Don Bosco Centre has given so much to the community—a venue for sports, arts, education, and social connections. However, to continue providing these invaluable services, we need the support of the entire community to save it from closure.

Our objective is clear: we need to prevent the sale of the Don Bosco Hostel & Youth Centre by placing bids and raising enough funds to keep it operational. We're calling on everyone in Brunswick and beyond to come together. Community support is vital, whether through donations or voicing your support in local forums.

We have the power to ensure that future generations can enjoy the same opportunities we've all had. This is our chance to preserve a part of our heritage.

Please join us in our fight to save Don Bosco Hostel & Youth Centre. Your signature, your voice, and your donation can make a difference.
