Our vision is to see people in tough places flourish. We believe God cares deeply for the marginalized in society and our mission is to join in with Him to help people flourish emotionally, socially, economically and spiritually.
Our Values
We are faith-based but not faith-biased and seek to benefit people no matter what their religion, race, sexual orientation or disability. We try to model Christ-centeredness, grace, care, trust and interdependence within our team and with others. We often partner with other organisations for the benefit of the community.
Our Approach
LifeCare employs transformational community development theory in our approach to strengthening families and the community. This theory proposes that the use of mutually beneficial partnerships with individuals and organisations can bring increased social capital in the community. Therefore, LifeCare priorities include developing interdependent relationships with local partners across the community.
