New Community Care

There are many margins in our society, and people in these situations can feel isolated, vulnerable, and lonely without a place where they feel they belong. We understand that belonging is the cry of the human heart, so New Community Care exists to help people thrive no matter which margin they find themselves a part of.

Connexions

For people who find themselves on the margins because of substance misuse, our faith-based 12-step program called Connexions can provide a supportive group where you can take a step forward.

Community Meals and Op-shop

For people who find themselves on the margins because of a lack of resources, such as food or even clothing, New Community Care runs a Community Meals program in Croydon and has an Op-shop in Ringwood East to help people find the resources they need.

Heal Clinic

For people who find themselves on the margins because of life’s circumstances, Heal Clinic is a place where dignity, acceptance and belonging are values that aren’t just stated, they are demonstrated. We share lunch, activities, haircuts and remedial massage to those needing support.

Lion Cubs

For people who find themselves on the margins because of loneliness and isolation, Lion Cubs is an interactive music/ playgroup in Lionsbrae residential care. This helps the elderly and vulnerable in our community find connection and moments of joy as they associate with preschoolers and their families.
You can play a role in helping people on the margins thrive through your tax-deductible donation (auspiced by Victorian Baptist Community Care).
