5. The Care Agency
Norlane – our 30 year commitment,

6. The Care Agency
Delivering support and social transformation in new ways means a return to our roots - partnership with the BUV and Baptist Churches. This grows at the “speed of trust” (Margaret Wheatley)

7. The Care Agency
4 styles of community development of interest to Baptcare & the BUV.
Partnerships primarily reliant on Government Funding
Social Enterprise (TDi) & Business as Mission
Asset-based community development (Urban Seed)
Community solution for professional developers (HVC)

8. The Care Agency
Delivering support and social transformation in new ways means finding new models and tools; challenging structures and governance; pushing legal boundaries. This costs time and money!!!

9. The Care Agency
Examples: Social Impact Investment (what kind of debt is it? Should it be counted as fundraising dollars?) Social Outcomes Measurement (governance issues of veracity and validity, alignment) Collective Impact (legal and governance issues regarding backbone organisation) Shared Value (protecting our social capital and trust from being de-based by Corporates?)

10. The Churches and the Union
What are our churches doing in community engagement and mission? We are on a journey from welfare to empowerment We are working with Baptcare on shared Community Development projects. We are creating future leaders: examples include our new Innovate program and the development of hybrid pastors. Examples under development: Norlane, ELCs, Woodlea (incarnational 2 houses in a new suburb), Now and Not Yet (business as mission)
