and motivated young people facing financial barriers to achieve their dreams.  \nDuring the year we awarded 822 scholarships valued at over $800,000. This outstanding accomplishment could not have been achieved without the support of our community and we are extremely thankful to our donors, partners and supporters for their ongoing generosity and support.  \nThis year, as we exited the pandemic, was an appropriate time for us review our programs and we undertook a Social Return on Investment evaluation. This insightful report, developed by Social Ventures Australia, confirmed that for every $1 dollar invested in our programs, we create $4.10 in social and economic benefit. This is a benefit of over $3.2M for our young people, their families and the community of the west in 2022.  \nOn behalf of the board, we would like to commend the commitment, hard work and enthusiasm of our Western Chances team. They continued to work tirelessly to ensure we empower young people, as they face ongoing challenges from the cost of living crisis, and we appreciate their magnificent efforts.  \nWe are looking forward to the next chapter of Western Chances as we strive to reach our vision of ensuring young people who are facing financial barriers achieve their potential.  \n. .  \nIn 2022, we continued to pursue our mission to support  \ntalented and motivated young people to achieve their dreams;  \nand what a year it was!  \nDuring the year we awarded scholarships valued at over $800,000 to 822 outstanding, motivated and resilient young people. Not only did we support these aspiring students financially, but in addition through our Links program we connected these young people with 597 additional learning opportunities valued at over $740,000. This included launching our very own mentoring program which connected our scholarship alumni as mentors for tertiary recipients to share their insights and experience on how best to springboard from university into the workplace.  \nWe were thrilled to welcome Victoria University as our Pro-bono Community Partner and this year moved our office to the Victoria University Nicholson Campus. We thank Western Health for their long-term office support and look forward tore-joining them at the New Footscray","cbCaif5MMXZk2EKL","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaif5MMXZk2EKL","pdf",5767545,34,"English","# 2021 highlights\n# Message from Chair, CEO and Patron\n# Message from Patron and Ambassador\n# About us\n# Our Impact\n## Scholarship Program\n## Links Program\n# Our Community\n## Holistic support and Alumni Community\n## Community Pro-Bono Partner\n## Our People\n# Our Supporters\n# Financial report\n# Directors’ Report\n# Auditor’s Independence Declaration\n# Statement of Profit and Loss and Other Comprehensive Income\n# Statement of Financial Position\n# Statement of Changes in Equity\n# Statement of Cash Flows\n# Notes to the Financial Statements\n# Directors’ Declaration\n# Independent Auditor’s Report","[{\"question\":\"Western Chances awarded how many scholarships in 2022, and what was the total value?\",\"answer\":\"In 2022, Western Chances awarded 822 scholarships with a total of $800,449.\"},{\"question\":\"What does the report say about the social and economic value created per dollar invested?\",\"answer\":\"The report states that for every $1 invested, $4.10 in social and economic value is created for the community.\"},{\"question\":\"What does the Links program provide to scholarship recipients?\",\"answer\":\"Through the Links program, additional learning opportunities were facilitated, including 597 opportunities valued at over $740,000.\"}]","Western Chances Annual Report - 2022 | PDF",1789905563,86]
