Community Capacity Building

One of the ways in which St Luke's can realise our mission is to work with communities to increase their ability to be support their members. This approach recognises the significance of the social, environmental and economic environment to people’s ability to achieve well being for all community members.

St Luke's Community Capacity Building offers the following:

• A way of working in partnership with communities
• The opportunity to prevent social problems
• A way of mobilising existing resources in the community for the benefit of all families
• Opportunities for intersectoral partnerships with individuals and families, businesses, local, state and federal governments, health, education and recreation sectors and service clubs.
• Opportunities to facilitate people to contribute to their communities and participate in civic life.
• Opportunities to share our learnings about community building with other workers.
• Information about our region and about the success and nature of St Luke’s services
  
  We have a unique experience in working with the lowest socio-economic communities and in rural towns and the ability to engage the most marginalised people in community building activities and have found ways to assist people to take significant action to improve the well being of their neighbourhoods.
