About

Reaching out into the community; meeting needs and connecting with individuals to make a difference...because LIFE can be better

Story

By attending community meetings and forums, HopeLINK strives to listen to the concerns and needs of the community. Through networking with other organisations and agencies, HopeLINK can stay abreast of current social needs in the area, as well as glimpse future forecasts that will have an impact on the needs of the Gladstone community.
Through this intervention, HopeLINK acts proactively through programs, makes necessary referrals and discusses potential solutions to community needs.
As a community advocate, HopeLINK struggles determinedly to help build a stronger Gladstone community.
