CELEBRATING its 35th anniversary in 2024, the Hervey Bay Neighbourhood Centre (HBNC) has been a stalwart community force, contributing significantly to the prosperity of our city.
In the mosaic of community groups, charities, and not-for-profit organisations adorning our beautiful city, HBNC stands out as a beacon of hope.
Established in 1989, HBNC emerged as a community-driven initiative committed to providing aid, companionship, and support to the most marginalised individuals within our society.
Focused on people-centric approaches, the organisation strives to alleviate obstacles hindering individuals from leading fulfilling and joyous lives, embodying the essence of community support.
Under the astute leadership of CEO Tanya Stevenson, a highly regarded figure in regional administration, HBNC has evolved to address diverse community needs.
Managing a robust portfolio of over thirty programs, they span domains such as aged care, family services, diversity, and social isolation.
Central to HBNC’s ethos is the belief in a cohesive community where every individual is valued, recognising the existence of vulnerable members who require assistance.
HBNC’s programs cater to individuals at all stages of life, emphasizing inclusivity and addressing the needs of those who may be vulnerable or isolated.
As we step into 2024, those aspiring not only to improve their own lives but also to uplift others can find a meaningful avenue in volunteering with HBNC.
Volunteering presents an opportunity to be a catalyst for positive change, contributing to the transformation of our community into a thriving and supportive environment.
Engaging in a spectrum of activities, from organising community events to participating in educational programs, volunteers at HBNC can explore diverse interests while experiencing the gratification of giving back.
For those inclined to further support HBNC’s initiatives, donations are welcomed to facilitate the delivery of life-enhancing services. These services range from providing meals for the homeless and disadvantaged to supplying hot shower packs, offering resources for at-risk youth, and supporting volunteer mentors for young individuals.
