Shine

Being there for individuals who need us, when they need us

The journey to create Shine Social and Communities began with a belief in the power that individual choice has to improve lives. Through my lived experiences, I saw firsthand how the harm caused by stigma, judgement, and misunderstanding can affect individuals, families and communities. 

Navigating through childhood, education and employment, the passion for creating a more inclusive society only grew stronger. I have witnessed the transformative and lasting effects in which support, empowerment and respect can have on individuals. 

This is why Shine SC is part of the solution. By empowering, supporting, and enabling individuals, I believe that everyone can have the opportunity to accomplish their dreams and truly shine!”

Our Values

Transparency, accountability, team orientation, trust, and the courage to turn dreams into reality are the pillars on which our culture of openness and collaboration is built. As an organisation, we are committed to building a culture that is driven by teamwork and collaboration with all our stakeholders and families.

We believe that by fostering an environment of transparency, we can build trust and foster mutual understanding among all stakeholders. We take pride in our work, and are committed to delivering and achieving possible outcomes, holding ourselves accountable for our actions.

Our Vision

We envision a society that recognises the inherent value of human diversity and individuality. A society that understands that every person has unique experiences, needs, and aspirations, and that these differences should be celebrated and not stigmatised.

We strive to make this vision a reality, by promoting acceptance, inclusivity and providing resources to individuals to make choices that align with their personal goals and beliefs, leading to a better life for all.

Our Mission

Our mission is to empower individuals to achieve a higher quality of life through our inclusive services. We strive to promote choice and self-determination by providing support, guidance, and resources to individuals as they work towards their personal goals.

Our approach is person-centered, holistic and solution-focused, with a range of programs and services tailored to meet the unique needs of each individual. We aim to be a catalyst for positive change in the lives of those we serve.
