Leadership Report

Changing Lives

It is said that the true test of a society is how it treats its most vulnerable members. Reading the compelling stories in our Impact Report reminds us of this, and how we have all been tested by the pandemic – as individuals, as an organization, as a city and as a nation. We are so proud of how The Neighbourhood Group Community Services stepped forward during the pandemic to help our most vulnerable neighbours – from the seniors living in our supportive housing, to the children in our childcare centres, to the people who are homeless and experiencing COVID-19 in our recovery centre – we jumped in with our hearts and hands.

On behalf of a grateful Board of Directors, we thank our incredible, dedicated staff, volunteers and peer leaders, our generous donors and funders, and our neighbours who made a stronger community possible.

As well as providing essential services, we also raised our voices together and made advocacy progress on homecare, childcare, affordable housing, racism and community safety. We strive to confront poverty and injustice with caring services, and with better laws and policies.

We hope you will be inspired by the life-changing stories in this Report, and are glad to be able to welcome you back in our spaces to see this vital work for yourselves. Please join us!
