Strategic Plan
We believe that in order to address the issues of social exclusion, it is necessary to develop a model of Integrated Community Development that is both seamless and holistic in its programme delivery, and is community based and sustainable in its operation. Accordingly, within each community where we operate, we seek to provide or partner with organisations that offer a one-stop shop to families and communities in a flexible and relational way that is built upon trust and is responsive to their felt needs.

2002
2002 has been another exciting year of change and development for the Trust. Throughout this year we have endeavoured, above all else, to continue to show a level of love, care and commitment to the people we come into contact with that reflects the love of God in each and every situation. The year has seen us develop both as individuals within a team and also as a team within the community. The result of the latter has been the deepening of the level of trust granted to us across all ages providing us with a tremendous privilege yet also a tremendous responsibility to assist in the development of people’s lives… Download pdf to read more.
