During her studies she has volunteered with the Muslim Legal Network and the University’s People of Colour Department.  \n“Since Iwas in Year 9, my dream has been to study law atThe University of Melbourne and now I’m here, thanks to Western Chances. Being from a refugee background, finances were tight. Having assistance from Western Chances meant that I didn’t have to take extra shifts in my part time job to pay for things like textbooks anda laptop. I could spend my time taking on valuable internships and studying. I didn’t know anyone at university so it was also fantastic that Western Chances connected me with other students from a similar demographic. We are all still friends today.  \nA big thankyou to Western Chances for taking such an interest in me. I’m very grateful. Their help and encouragement have helped me andso many others advance our careersand reach our goals.”  \nMessages  \nFrom Chair and CEO  \nIt is with great pleasure I report that, despite the significant disruption caused by COVID-19 again in 2021, Western Chances continued to support record numbers of talented and motivated young people to achieve their dreams and goals.  \nDuring the year we awarded 852 scholarships valued at over $784,735 and again our Year 12 destination outcomes were outstanding. In addition, we provided free opportunities through our Links Program to the value of over $790,000 . We are extremely thankful to our donors and partners for their ongoing generosity and support.  \nIn 2021, we commenced implementation of our new five-year Strategic Plan, having paused implementation in 2020 to develop a Business Continuity Plan to ensure the sustainability of our programs throughout the uncertainty brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic. The Business Continuity Plan links to the new Strategic Plan and continues to guide our operations as we face the challenges presented in the current environment.  \nDespite continued lockdowns which placed great strain on our community we were fortunate enough to hold both our Scholarship Awards Ceremony and Good Business Forum in 2021 with our community in attendance. The Scholarship Awards Ceremony was a great celebration of our newest scholarship recipients with over 2,300 of our community joining us in the room and online. The Good Business Forum was well supported by businesses with nearly 350 leaders from over 30 organisations coming together to raise funds to support ove","cbCaicbev88uNmge","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaicbev88uNmge","pdf",5796857,27,"English","# 2021 highlights\n## Messages from Chair, CEO and Patron\n## About us\n## Scholarships\n## Holistic support and Alumni Community\n## Our Community and Our People\n## Our Supporters\n## Financial report\n## Directors’ Report\n## Auditor’s Independence Declaration\n## Statements and Notes to the Financial Statements","[{\"question\":\"How many scholarships were awarded in 2021 and what was their total value?\",\"answer\":\"In 2021, 852 scholarships were awarded with a total value of over $784,735.\"},{\"question\":\"What free opportunities were provided through the Links Program?\",\"answer\":\"The report states that $792,071 in free opportunities was provided through the Links Program.\"},{\"question\":\"Why did implementation of the Strategic Plan pause in 2020?\",\"answer\":\"The report explains that implementation was paused in 2020 to develop a Business Continuity Plan, ensuring the sustainability of programs during COVID-19 uncertainty.\"}]","Western Chances Annual Report 2021 | PDF",1789909539,68]
