“The Homework Club at Dixon House has been in partnership with the Melbourne Anglican Foundation for several years. This funding has enabled us to continue serving children from diverse backgrounds with additional learning needs through empathy, role modelling, academic assistance, and lots of fun! We are extremely grateful to the Melbourne Anglican Foundation for this privilege.”
- Winston Chee, Co-ordinator, Dixon House
