Brimbank Pasefika Support

We are proud to support the newly established Brimbank Pasefika Support team, comprised of young Pasefika adults of Brimbank.  These individuals look to provide essential support to their members, church, and local community. They embody mutual understanding, growth through shared values, and the importance of giving back, fostering strong, lasting connections with those they assist.

The Brimbank Pasefika Support Team aims to:

"Harness cultural values to achieve our vision of fostering the health, growth and success of children, young people, elderly and families across diverse settings in the local community"

 The team is currently working on new projects to enhance the wellbeing and success of the Brimbank Pasefika community.  These include educational programs for children and youth, health and wellness workshops, cultural preservation projects, and assistance with employment & training programs. Through these initiatives, we aim to foster a thriving & resilient community.
