Southern Peninsula Community Support (SPCS) provides a safety net for the community, supporting those who otherwise often fall through the gaps. We offer a wide range of emergency relief support including food and material aid, help with bills, advocacy, negotiation, and referral.

Most importantly we provide a space where people will feel valued and listened to, fostering trust and connection with our community. We encourage independence and aim to empower people to make positive change in their lives.

SPCS operates a model where service delivery is shared between a small group of paid staff and a much larger group of volunteers. It is governed by a Board of Management who employs a CEO to be responsible for the day-to-day management. All services provided are free, confidential, and impartial.

Volunteers undertake several roles at SPCS, including reception, client interviewing, fresh food program, administrative tasks, and data entry. We are a very welcoming, supportive, positive and committed team and value our volunteers very highly.
