THE FCRC

The organisation is supported through funds, donations, and equipment contributed by partner organisations and independent donors. These resources enable us to continue serving the Hanover Park community with purpose and commitment. Our work is centred on addressing social challenges and bridging the skills gap that affects many communities. We place particular emphasis on empowering young people with the knowledge and support they need to make positive life choices and build sustainable futures.

The Centre operates from its own purpose-built complex, which includes six offices, a reception area, a computer room, a boardroom, a small hall, and a fully equipped kitchen. The facility was generously sponsored by the Pentecostal Protestant Church. As a faith-based organisation, we are committed to serving people of all ages, backgrounds, religions, and races with dignity, respect, and care.

 

MISSION

The mission of FCRC is to contribute to poverty alleviation by providing counselling and support services to community members, young people affected by gangsterism and substance abuse, and abused or neglected children.

 

VISION

Our vision is to be more than a response to community challenges. We aim to serve as a catalyst for lasting change by encouraging individuals to grow, develop, and uplift themselves and their communities.
