Neighbour Care
Network
The Neighbour Care Network helps strengthen the community’s capacity to care for neighbours in need. It builds a network of trained volunteer care supporters while engaging local care-giving agencies and developing partnerships with organizations and individuals who share a commitment to compassionate support.
We are currently at capacity for Special Events volunteers. Please check back at a later time if you wish to volunteer at KSM. We thank you for your interest!
The Neighbour Care Network (NCN) is a shared initiative of local church compassion ministries, organized, facilitated and supported by Kerr Street Mission.
The goal of the initiative is to build the capacity of the community to care for their neighbours in need. As well as building a network of trained care support volunteers we are engaging the network of care giving agencies and establishing a network of potential benevolent partners.
We provide ongoing support and mentorship to Care Support Volunteers so they can come alongside individuals and families in difficulty and distress. The Care Support volunteers work with clients to identify and access available resources so they can get to a more stable and sustainable situation and improve their health and well-being.
The NCN operates on the basis of giving a ‘Hand Up’, not a ‘hand out’, by assisting Care Support Volunteers to uncover and address the root causes of the situation, and work with clients to create a viable plan which provides direction, accountability, relief and hope.
