Salvo Story: The Couch at Melbourne Project 614

Noticing a growing number of international students who were vulnerable and isolated, the team at Melbourne Project 614 started The Couch in 2010. Major Brendan Nottle says: “The Salvation Army was raised up to work with the outsider, to bring the most vulnerable into the centre of the community and wrap support around them. The Couch is a fun and safe place for students to gather, share a meal, get practical support, and make new friends.”
