Our Vision, Purpose, Values & Strategic Plan

Over 50 years of working for, with and in, the community

In 2022, as part of refreshing our Strategic Plan, consumers of our services, staff, volunteers, board members and key stakeholders shared their ideas about what the future could look like for the 4cs. This process also involved refreshing our Vision, Mission and Values.

From the very early days in 1972 when the organisation was founded through community building community, until today, our Motto is still core to our organisational culture.
