Vision and Philosophy

Vision Statement:
Gore Kids Hub provides a one-stop-shop of support services for families with children under the age of five years. It supports the well being and education of adults and their children while the children learn, develop and form friendships, and encourages collaboration between organisations to ensure that families in the Gore District have access to everything they need to support them in their journey as a family.

Philosophy:
At Gore Kids Hub, all groups will work collaboratively to provide a safe, secure, stimulating and fun environment where families are supported and encouraged to learn about and contribute to their children’s development. Children will be provided with a wide range of experiences, equipment, and opportunities to explore and play. We feel parents and caregivers are instrumental in providing the best possible start for their child in their pre-school years and have the total wellbeing of their child in the forefront of their minds when deciding what activities their child will be involved in. During their time with Gore Kids Hub, children and parents/caregivers will become competent and confident in their abilities while also gaining a strong sense of belonging in their community.

Values:
  • It takes a ‘village’ to raise a child.
  • Children learn through play.
  • Parenting is Society’s most important career, and parents need access to support and education to help them through the challenging times.
  • The district has a limited volunteer pool and access to financial resources, so organisations need to work together to maximise available services and limit duplication.

Strategic Plan:
After the completion of the Kids Hub Building in December 2015 we, the ‘Gore Kids Hub Charitable Trust’ plan to ensure the longevity of each organisation involved. To do this we need to reduce overheads which in turn minimises the need for fundraising, and increase the membership of each organisation.

Reducing overheads will be done by ensuring the lease/maintenance pool and insurance is divided between Playcentre, Parents Centre, Toy Library and Kidstart. This should be not more than approximately $3000 per group. If we do one major fundraising event as a collective that makes a minimum of $5000 this will reduce this cost by $1250 per group. Prior to occupation a fundraising plan will be put in place based on successful major fundraising activities that have been held in 2015 for the Kids Hub.

Increasing the membership of each group will ensure longevity – this can be done by holding annual ‘open days’, by everyone supporting and advertising each other's groups and by pooling resources and advertising together. A key aspect of increasing membership will be attracting new members through working collaboratively with other groups in the community and hosting specific events in the Kids Hub area to encourage people to become familiar with the building and what it has to offer.
