Westside's The Homecoming works with refugee and newly arrived young people from the Western English Language School, Debney Park Secondary College, new arrivals from the North Melbourne and Flemington housing estates and children from the West Sunshine area to promote self–expression through a circus and related arts activity.

The project builds confidence in the individuals as well as teamwork for the group. Performance outcomes include community festivals, show and tell for friends and family and audiences from local schools and groups.
