"You can only do a small amount individually but once we start working on the same outcomes, programs and projects then enthusiasm builds enthusiasm and in order for communities to change and develop we have to learn to work with each other. I think Mid Coast 4 Kids was probably a first community approach in that way".
Our Community Partners
Mid Coast 4 Kids is an initiative supported by Communities for Children. Communities for Children is an Australian Government funded service delivered through the Department of Social Services.
Communities for Children work collaboratively with our local community to delivering evidenced-based and innovative programs that respond to local challenges and make a real difference in the lives of children and families living on the Mid Coast.
