Doncare

Doncare is an independent not-for-profit community services organisation which provides support to the most vulnerable and disadvantaged in the City of Manningham and surrounds. Doncare provides Family Violence Recovery services; Family Services; Emergency Relief and Crisis Support; Counselling; Social Support for Seniors and Case Management. Volunteer involvement is central to Doncare's services.

Doncare has established a reputation for connecting people in the community. The philosophy "by the community, for the community" remains true to Doncare's core business of strengthening and supporting the local community through helping others overcome adversity and to the ethos of volunteering.  

Despite the perceived wealth, Manningham, like most affluent communities, has pockets of disadvantage and people living in extreme hardship. Doncare identifies and responds to community needs and gaps in service provision by offering free or low cost services.   Doncare is the first point of contact for people in emotional or financial crisis, or in need of practical support as well as providing long term support in recovery.
