Ted Noffs Foundation
The Ted Noffs Foundation is a charitable organisation located in Randwick, New South Wales, Australia. Founded as the Wayside Foundation in 1971 in Sydney by the Reverend Ted Noffs and his wife, Margaret, which provides drug and alcohol services for young people in Australia.
It offers initiatives such as two residential treatment centres for adolescents with drug and alcohol problems, adolescent life management, continuing care, family and adolescent counselling, Indigenous Australians-specific counselling, an early intervention/educational project, and a number of social enterprises including "op shops".

Ted Noffs
Man of the Cross
Published by Pan Macmillan (AUS) 1997.
I’m not a religious man, but I grew up with the church and I’ve known and admired several people who have managed to combine their particular faiths with a great love of humanity. The Reverend Ted Noffs, founder of the Wayside Chapel in Sydney’s Kings Cross, was such a man.
For more than 25 years Ted was the defiant rebel of his church and the saviour of thousands of lost souls and street kids. “You don’t talk religion,” he liked to say, “you do religion.” And true to this philosophy, he turned the Kings Cross ministry into a worldwide crusade against drugs and misery.

Ted Noffs
Australian Methodist minister
Theodore Delwin "Ted" Noffs (14 August 1926 – 6 April 1995) was a Methodist (later Uniting Church) minister who founded the Wayside Chapel in Kings Cross, Sydney, in 1964.[1]
During the youth revolt of the 1960s, Noffs was attracted to what he saw as the life-affirming side of the movement. Although aware of the problem of drug-abuse and the alienation of youth, he believed that they were "...a part of the paraphernalia behind the revolution, the symbolism behind the revolt."[2] Noffs sought fairness and equality for all. With a focus on the practical, he raised funding from both government and business to set up facilities for the disadvantaged; in many cases these projects were the first of their kind in Australia.
Early life
Theodore Delwin Noffs was born 14 August 1926, in Mudgee, at the Rexton Private Hospital. He was educated initially at Parramatta High School, the University of Sydney and Leigh Theological College, Sydney. He entered the ministry in 1947 and was ordained in 1952, a year after h
