< New public identity
We are not changing our name, rather we are formalising a shortened version of our name within a new logo. It is pronounced ‘ay see care’. This will diminish confusion with other organisations and the variety of ways the organisation is referred to in the community The reasons behind this decision What will not change:
What will be new:
Our JourneyAnglican Community Care Incorporated was formed in Mount Gambier in 1985, with one social worker, a part-time administration officer and an accommodation support worker. Placement of children into foster care in Mount Gambier was in hand with the State Government, however, a strong and growing need was emerging for “at risk” local teenagers to be accommodated safely in stable and nurturing environments. Together, caring local individuals and government departments were successful in receiving a state government grant. The Anglican Parish Council of Christ Church Mount Gambier came forward and accepted the responsibility for auspicing the then foster care service for local teenagers aged 12 to 18 years. A separate organisation called ‘South East Teenage Care’ was created. Today the organisation employs nearly 200 staff with current offices and community centres in Mount Gambier, Millicent, Naracoorte, Bordertown, Murray Bridge, Berri and Waikerie. More than 60,550(FY07-08) people in the South East, Riverland and Murraylands of South Australia were supported by Anglican Community Care Incorporated, through over 70 different programs and services that fall under one or more of our goals of ~ alleviating homelessness ~ building communities ~ promoting learning ~ reducing poverty ~ sharing cultures ~ strengthening families ~ supporting children. Thank you for your support in the past. We look forward to further strengthening our relationships in the future, working together for the benefit of our rural communities. Yours sincerely,
