Brotherhood of St. Laurence

The Brotherhood of St. Laurence, also known as BSL, is a social justice organisation working alongside people experiencing disadvantage to address the fundamental causes of poverty in Australia. Our purpose is to advance a fair Australia through our leadership on policy reform, our partnerships with communities, and the quality of our services.

One of these services is the SEED Project (Sustaining Economic Empowerment and Dignity for Women), which provides an opportunity to increase the financial capability and wellbeing of women in Seymour, Victoria. This is achieved through workshops and one on one support, as well as providing referrals to other community support providers as required.

At our Women’s Financial Wellbeing Hub, located at 47 Anglesey Street Seymour, we offer one on one support to increase women’s financial capacity through;

• Financial capability coaching
• Exploring opportunities for education, training, and employment
• Seeking referral pathways to relevant supports throughout their involvement with the project
• Opportunities for women to become “Members” of the SEED Project, which allows them access to the use of all hub facilities. Members will also receive a newsletter to keep them up to date on all activities.
