Our Future Now

About

Our Future Now strives to tackle systemic barriers and challenges head-on, providing individuals and communities with appropriate resources, opportunities, and support networks is vital to achieving stability and personal growth.

We are committed to working collaboratively with valued partners to deliver effective, co-designed services that align with Nugent’s vision of providing a lifelong pathway of support for those in need.

Often, public funding shortfalls are leaving our communities without adequate support or guidance. We believe that despite the challenges we currently face, the solution is working collaboratively with those like Nugent, who are committed to finding solutions.

Key priorities

The challenges we are focused on include mental health crises, unstable housing, poverty, deprivation, adverse childhood experiences, and other inequities. Without appropriate intervention at the earliest opportunity, these challenges can continue cycles of homelessness, unemployment, poor health, and marginalisation.

Our objectives

• Enhancing community engagement
• We will increase community engagement, through shorter term interventions, that complement existing, long-term services across Nugent.
• Develop new services/provisions
• We will grow and scale services across the five strategic priorities.
• Volunteer involvement and experience
• We will enhance volunteer involvement, ensuring that volunteers have a meaningful, rewarding experience that drives long-term engagement.
