“Footscray Market & VU have a lot in common. Both our institutions positively shape the community in the west; the market & VU campuses are places where people connect, share & nurture.” – Mr P.S. Lee. Local icon & owner of Footscray Market, Mr P.S. Lee, is helping shape the next chapter with a major philanthropic donation to VU. That includes $425,000 to support the Heart of the West Health and Wellbeing Hub at the new Footscray Hospital🏥 – backing new work around disease prevention, healthy ageing & better health outcomes for the communities that call Melbourne’s west home. 🏘️🤲 Mr Lee has also contributed $250,000 to support student scholarships through Western Chances & Victoria University, helping more young people in Melbourne’s west get a fairer shot.🎓 Spending time at Footscray Market with Mr Lee earlier this week, you could see exactly where that spirit comes from – the heartbeat of the west is in the people who show up for it every day.🩵 Get behind the story 👉 https://lnkd.in/g2vR5pRx
