Dear supporters.
We’re excited to present the Western Chances Annual Review for the 2019 calendar year.

The review celebrates our most successful year on record:
• Over 750 scholarships awarded to talented and motivated young people
• More than $500,000 in additional opportunities awarded through our Links Program
• 100% of Year 12 scholarship recipients successfully completed VCE or equivalent.

The review highlights the increasing need to support young people in Melbourne's west, one of Australia’s fastest growing regions. As we all know, talent is everywhere - but opportunity is not. And we are proud that our scholarships and support enable young people, their families and their wider communities to thrive.

We would like to sincerely thank everyone who contributes to our programs. These are the schools and community service organisations who nominate our young people, our valued funders and pro bono supporters, our corporate partners, our Big Dreams monthly direct debit donors, and our dedicated team of staff and volunteers. Thank you for believing in our scholarship recipients and giving them the chance in life they deserve.
