Pathways Community Care:
Mission Statement

Pathways Community Care will be the hands and feet ofJesus to the greater Pendle Hill community, through compassion, care and commitment. 

Community Care

Accomodation

Pendle Hill Crisis Centre is an emergency accommodation service for women and their children in crisis, most often escaping domestic or family violence, or other factors that place them at risk of homelessness. We are very fortunate to be able to provide short- and medium-term housing for families who require additional support and care as they transition back into permanent and stable housing. Staff provide practical assistance as well as emotional support to these very vulnerable families.

Families reside in our Refuge for up to 12 weeks, whilst they work on feeling safe and looking for their next home. For our medium-term accommodation, of up to 12 months, we are blessed and thankful for our partners Wesley Mission, Amelie Housing and Fresh Hope Community Housing who provide safe and secure transitional properties for our families to reside in.

Community Care

ACVVS

The Aged Care Volunteer Visitors Scheme matches volunteer visitors to older people based on shared interests, offering meaningful friendships and companionship to people who might otherwise experience social isolation and loneliness. Volunteer visitors and recipients share their experience with ACVVS. We encourage more people to become volunteer visitors to provide friendship and companionship to older people in aged care. Is this the year you volunteer?

Community Care

iKidz

At iKids, primary aged children engage in a wide range of activities that are fun and help children grow to be the best they can be.

Children benefit from strong friendships with each other and with the fantastic leadership team. iKidz is run by dedicated and passionate staff that focus on the welfare of the children.

Community Care

Playgroup

Playgroup creates opportunities to build and strengthen children’s development, support families, and promote community engagement, health, and wellbeing. Playgroup is filled with fun activities, crafts, and group play, providing a great opportunity for parents and career’s to network and get to know their community whilst building skills to interact with their children.

Community Care

Craft Group

Our craft group provides a space for adults to learn a new skill or build on skills they already have. Participants have the chance to share experiences, concerns, triumphs, and disasters, or just have another adult to talk to. This group offers a great support network, social inclusion, new friends and helps to improve self-esteem. It is a child-free time (childcare is provided) in a safe environment. Participants feel culturally and socially accepted.
