Mission Australia and HOPE Collective partner on Whyalla Community of Focus
Mission Australia and HOPE Collective are reinforcing their commitment to Whyalla and will work together to create long-term change in the community.
The partnership will see Whyalla become Mission Australia’s fourth Community of Focus, with the organisations building on the solid foundation that HOPE Collective has established in the community to create positive change.
Launching in 2024, the collaboration will see Mission Australia commit up to 10 years of funding towards the establishment of a local team who will support HOPE Collective’s ongoing work with the Whyalla community.
HOPE Collective is a collaboration of multiple groups including community groups, schools, churches, residents, and government agencies and non-government organisations. Mission Australia was a founding member of HOPE Collective.
The heart of HOPE Collective is to serve the local community, to see the community as experts in their own story, to empower neighbourhoods, and to see lives transformed.
This Communities of Focus partnership will enhance and deepen the ongoing work that HOPE Collective has been doing with the Whyalla community over the past nine years.
