St Johns Anglican Church, Darlinghurst – Rough Edges Community Assistance and Partnership Program

The program’s objective is to provide a support team for people of the Darlinghurst/Kings Cross community.

Activities being undertaken are:
· providing a place of welcome and safety in the Rough Edges Community Centre during the daytime opening hours;
· sharing and listening to peoples’ stories in a respectful and non-judgmental way;
· noticing people’s gifts, resources and strengths and helping them, whenever possible, to better recognize these themselves;
· offering general counseling and working with people to help them identify their own solutions and move towards these;
· administering the resources available to reduce the pressure for those who are experiencing immediate financial and material need; and
· facilitating projects identified by the community to be of benefit for the community.
