About Us
“We are about creating a community of hospitality with people”
Boroondara Community Outreach (BCO) is a mental health ministry established in 1993 by the Uniting Church under the Presbytery of Yarra Yarra.
We are an inclusive and welcoming community for those looking for a place to belong and to contribute. We are about creating a community of hospitality with people, a safe place where each person is valued as a member and contributes to creating the community that is BCO. We value compassion and respect, nurture hope and encourage creativity.
Our hope is, that when people feel they belong and are supported, their health and well-being will improve on all levels - physical, mental, emotional, spiritual and social.
What People Are Saying about BCO
“When I turned up here I discovered a community to belong to, not an organisation that provides a service and they are two really different things. That’s what makes this place unique.”
“Because of these get togethers, I no longer feel alone and isolated.”
“To feel you belong somewhere, that means more than life itself”
