THE OBJECTIVES OF HERVEY BAY NEIGHBOURHOOD CENTRE
The objectives for which the Association is established are : -
- To work cooperatively with the whole community to relieve poverty, suffering, isolation, helplessness, and misfortune by:
- Identifying and providing direct support, relief and services to individuals and ‘at risk’ groups in the local community who have a significant personal, social economic, geographic and/or cultural disadvantage.
- Providing a comprehensive, coordinated and integrated range of essential support services for frail aged people, people with disabilities and their carers.
- Supporting people to be more independent at home and in the community, thereby enhancing their quality of life and/or preventing admission into long term care.
- Reducing the barriers for disadvantaged individuals and communities to access our services through the provision of case management, counselling, information, training, flexible transport and where applicable appropriate referrals to other services.
- To foster healthy family, individual and community relationships through the provision of excellent and 'state of the art' childcare, education, training, information, mentoring, counselling, case management and volunteer programs.
- To provide low cost premises for meetings activities and workshops or office accommodation where practical for self help groups, community based groups, and organisations that share our ethos.
- To work within a social justice framework recognising the full diversity of our community, in the development, preparation and delivery of all programs activities and services within the organisation.
