Embrace People & Place wants to welcome people in need by rethinking how support services can work together and how space is shared to benefit vulnerable people in the NSW Hunter Region.
This is supported by a model of practice that includes co-located and integrated services and programs, featuring collaboration with a wide variety of partners, and various approaches to tackle social exclusion (from food security, employment, transport, through to homelessness).
Embrace People & Place is guided by the following overarching pillars:
Our values are at the centre of everything we do.
All families are unique and constructed differently – to belong to one is that sense of coming home and being with your people.
In all our dealings we will listen, and we will be honest, principled and kind.
Working together to develop shared success.
Willing to do something difficult even when there’s risk.
Our headquarters is a five-level building at 437 Hunter Street in Newcastle including two ground-level shopfronts. All five levels of the building will be utilised by in-house partners supporting and empowering vulnerable people while the two shopfronts operate as social enterprises supporting people to access employment.
