Summit Community Services hosts Easter morning tea

A mouth-watering Easter morning tea held for Summit Community Services colleagues, carers and clients on Friday, March 24.

Summit Community Services Inc (previously known as Narrabri Community Tenancy Scheme Inc) was established in 1983 to provide low-cost housing to people who were limited in their access to housing and commenced operations with five properties.

The organisation has since grown to include disability support services, to managing an additional 60 properties and to providing support to people across the local government area of Narrabri Shire.

The not-for-profit organisation is governed by a management board of up to ten community members, each with a variety of skills and experience.

A manager is responsible for the operations of the group and services are delivered by a team of dedicated workers.

‘Person centred practice’ is at the core of Summit Community Services’ approach to working with and supporting people and their families and carers.

It means supporting people to have a stronger voice, more control over their lives and more choices.

It involves listening to what people want and supporting them to achieve their goals and allow them to have the opportunity to lead the life they choose.
