LOCAL

Along with building relationships

with those in our local community,

PAM is practically assisting people in ways they aren't able to themselves.

We work with Risdon Prison to

provide video link visits with inmates and their families, supporting family connections.

The focus is to give families and individuals in our local community, who are going through a tough season a Care Pack or Christmas Hamper.  

Our heart is to support, encourage and lavish a little on these people.  

A Care Pack in a time of need can bring encouragement and joy in a hard situation.  

A Christmas Food Hamper can enable a family to celebrate and enjoy time together around a Christmas meal.

A Community transformation project where we will bring blessing to a community service organisation with a makeover or renovation. We have recently had a team work with the community with a makeover of the SPACE School building.  It was great work as a team with other trades people to see this area transformed with a new coat of paint, new furniture and fresh realised work spaces.  This fresh new building has provided students with a wonderful place to meet and work on their school activities.  This environment helps students to feel valued and supported in their education.

Heaven's Care aims to support every woman and family following the premature loss of their infant.

This is done practically by providing beautiful thoughtful coffins created and inspired by Esther 'Positioned for such a time as this', never to walk beside her parents but forever carried in their hearts.  The coffins are made as a gift to take and use in any way the family feels may bring comfort and offer hope through this time. 

At MOPS mums meet together to be supported, encouraged and equipped as they raise their families together. Remarkable things happen when mums find their place in a mothering community and discover they are not alone.

So, whether you are a soon-to-be mum, first-time mum or seventh-time mum, you are welcome here. You will meet new friends, hear speakers on relevant topics, learn new skills and gain confidence in mothering.

Gateway Community Care financially supports Chaplaincy programs in our local schools. We provide student mentors who work one on one with children and young people.

We also provide Mentors for the The Easy P’s Learner Driver Mentor program which helps students obtain their Provisional Driver’s License, where they would otherwise have no access to a suitable vehicle or their own supervisory driver.

White Butterfly is an annual Memorial Service for Remembrance of Pregnancy & Child loss.

​

We understand that sometimes we need someone to simply be there ... not to fix anything or do anything in particular but just to let us feel we are supported.

​

Please contact us to find out the next White Butterfly date.

We develop relationships and partnerships with Community Services Organisations who are  making a difference in our community.  

Partnerships include:

Mission Australia

Glenhaven Family Care

The Rumpus Youth mission is to “Transform the future of a generation” and our purpose is to give the next generation every opportunity of becoming all they can be. In a generation that is confronted consistently with opportunities for living a damaging lifestyle, Rumpus provides the opportunity for a safe, fun, alcohol and drug free environment where young people can hang out and be involved in positive challenges, activities and leadership development. Every Friday night some 150 young people bus in from surrounding towns for our weekly event.  Other activities include our Lunch Support, Strength and Shine self- esteem and skill development programs in schools.
