There is potential inside all of us – we all have it in
us to shine.
Every charity exists to help solve a problem – our charity
exists to help solve many problems, from childcare shortages, social isolation,
mental health issues, access to wellness, and more. Today, our network is
spread across 100+ program locations in HRM and across the province, meeting
the most urgent needs of our communities through mental health supports,
accessible childcare, support for an increasing immigrant population, safe
spaces for youth to grow and lead, assistance navigating a precarious labour
market, wellness programming for all, and creating community for isolated older
adults.
We give people the tools, encouragement, and safe space to
discover their inner strength. When people know someone is in their corner,
with unconditional support, they realize they can do more than they thought
possible. Your support, expertise, and leadership help people ignite their full
potential and shape our neighbourhoods into vibrant and healthy communities.
With us at their side, they can Shine On.
