Our Role
We are a volunteer support based organisation that translates complex service systems to a wide variety of people, promoting self-advocacy to access social support systems and building individual capability, particularly around digital literacy.
We recognise a life cycle approach and that some people move in and out of states of vulnerability.
We seek to build capacity and resilience for and in people to address their own challenges and needs as well as advocating effectively for services at a systemic and individual level.
Our Message
Our Future is full of possibilities as we work with and respond to the communities needs and aspirations
Our Future has its genesis in our history of being a known, trusted and independent service
Our Future will be enriched by creating and developing partnerships and collaborations with other like-minded organisations
Our Future builds on our values and commitment to be recognised as offering inclusive services and helping those most vulnerable
Our Future will be enhanced by being a responsive and flexible organisation constantly seeking to improve our services and finding innovative ways to deliver beneficial outcomes in the community for older people and people living with disability.
