Strategic PlanFrom Surv i v ing to Thr i v ing

2011-2015

The teaching of Jesus Christ offers a radical perspective on the poor, the weak and the vulnerable. Compassion is not patronage, pity or parading charitable works before the world to draw attention to ourselves or to secure the competitive welfare dollar.

The Church believes that God in Christ is present in those who suffer disadvantage and poverty. The way we respond to the brokenness in others portrays our attitude to God and our own suffering.

In the responses we make we are faced with a choice: Divine encounter that inspires both giver and receiver and the world they inhabit with mercy and justice; or objective social contract in which client and service provider keep their distance refusing to see the common humanity we share and the image of God present in our mutual brokenness.

Jesus teaches that when we welcome the stranger, clothe the naked, offer sustenance to the hungry and thirsty, visit the sick and those in prison and offer hope to those whose humanity has been diminished, we touch the very heart of God (Matthew 25:31-46).

It is this radical paradigm that forms the DNA of Anglicare in which we all live, pray, plan and serve.

foreword by the archbishop

Where we have come from. Where we are going.

We are pleased to present Anglicare WA’s Strategic Plan 2011-15.

Anglicare WA was legally established in 1976 through the vision and leadership of the late Anglican Archbishop of Perth, the Most Reverend Geoffrey Sambell, and was originally known as Anglican Health and Welfare Services.

The scope and reach of Anglicare WA services has changed and grown significantly since then.

In 2011 Anglicare WA is a state-wide community services organisation delivering a wide range of services to Western Australians. We deliver services to more than 38,000 individuals and families annually, and operate in more than 40 locations throughout WA.

The depth and breadth of Anglicare WA’s experience in service delivery recognises that in facing the challenges of life and relationships, people move through a journey of wellbeing, that can be described as

Surviving •

Coping •

Building •

Thriving •

Anglicare WA is committed to walking alongside people throughout this journey, with the final goal clear and non-negotiable: thriving. On this basis our Strategic Plan is firmly fixed on working together with people, families and their communities, to enhance their abilities to cope with the challenges of life and relationships.

Our Strategic Plan is built on an understanding of the growing complexity of the issues facing today’s society, and seeks to deliver integrated services that concentrate on a client’s holistic needs. It is based on an understanding of the dynamics of a rapidly growing Western Australian economy, and the marginalisation that has come to far too many that have not had the opportunity to benefit.

To ensure that future and current integrated services offered by Anglicare WA meets the needs of today’s society, the Strategic Plan includes a beneficiary performance indicator for the first time. It is our ambition to focus on the outcomes we are achieving for the people we serve. Our performance against this indicator will be at the core of everything we do.

Anglicare WA has genuinely challenged itself over the last decade to become more effective in working with Aboriginal people, families and communities. This Strategic Plan was developed in a spirit of reconciliation, and provides a platform to build on past achievements and push us to dramatic improvement.

This plan comes at an exciting time of policy and program development in the community sector. Governments are looking to sector organisations, not only to deliver services, but to work with them to drive innovation, efficiency and effectiveness into the sector. Anglicare WA takes its role as an advocate for the community seriously and invests in its partnerships with government, business and other sector organisations, in recognition that no one organisation will provide what is needed.

This is a Strategic Plan that is rooted in history while attentive to the realities of this century. It is an exciting road that Anglicare WA wishes to travel, and we look forward to delivering on it with the assistance of our Board, staff and volunteers; and our key corporate, government and philanthropic partners.

From Surviving to Thriving.
