Governance
The FRC is guided by Community development approaches, principles, values, and methods. Our Community Development approach ensures we work to empower, enable, and support communities to improve quality of life. We work to address poverty and social exclusion, and to achieve rights and equality for marginalised communities including people experiencing poverty, inequality, and social exclusion.
Vision
A just and inclusive society.
Mission
To provide safe, welcoming, and supportive opportunities that empower the community to develop and realise its full potential.
Values
The Centre has a clear commitment to discovering our community's capacities and assets while allowing for flexibility to respond to the needs as and when they emerge. The Centre aims to:
- Engage community development practices to support the local community’s commitment to investing themselves and their resources in the effort.
- Provide structures which facilitate local people to support each other and search for ways to improve the quality of life in the area.
- Ensure services are in place that meets defined needs of individuals, families and the community, positively affecting people both directly and indirectly.
- Provide developmental and supportive services and programmes which are open to all while supporting those most disadvantaged and socially excluded to avail of such services.
- Maximise the skills of local residents, the power of community-based organisations, and the supportive functions of local institutions. Our vision, mission and values form the basis of our Strategic Plan.
