Communities for Children (CfC) Cranbourne
About CfC Cranbourne
Communities for Children (CfC) is a place-based initiative, meaning that we work collaboratively with the community to address complex issues, emphasising local expertise, empowerment and the unique circumstances of the community to create sustainable, systematic change.
Since its inception in 2004, Windermere has been the facilitating partner of CfC Cranbourne and more recently Clyde & Clyde North. As facilitating partner, Windermere funds community partners to provide services targeted to the Cranbourne community. CfC delivers specific programs to support children and families in disadvantaged communities, particularly those between the ages of 0 and 12.
The initiative focuses on enhancing the early childhood development and wellbeing of children and their families. Working in partnership with local organisations, schools, and service providers. We build on local strengths to meet community needs and create capability within local service systems, using strong evidence of what works in early intervention and prevention.
By focusing on both prevention and early intervention, CfC helps create safe, nurturing environments where children can thrive.
