Empowering Families, Strengthening Communities

🌱 About the Program

The Communities for Children (C4C) program is a nationally funded initiative that supports children aged 0–12 and their families through early intervention and community-led action.

At the WASH House, Sophie leads our C4C work with passion, care, and a commitment to creating safe, nurturing spaces where families can thrive. We work alongside local families to build stronger connections, improve child wellbeing, and grow resilience through inclusive, culturally safe programs.

🀝 What We Do

The C4C program brings the community together to support healthy childhood development and strong family relationships through:

  • Parenting Support & Education
    Helping caregivers build confidence, strengthen bonds, and feel supported in their parenting journey.

  • Early Childhood Programs
    Activities and resources that support children’s learning, development, and school readiness.

  • Community Events & Activities
    Fun, family-friendly events that celebrate community, build social connections, and encourage play-based learning.

  • Referral Pathways & Partnerships
    Working collaboratively with local services to connect families to supports that meet their unique needs.

  • Culturally Inclusive Programs
    Supporting Aboriginal and culturally diverse families through safe, respectful, and empowering practices.

🧭 Our Approach

C4C uses a place-based, evidence-based approach that puts families at the centre. Programs are tailored to local needs, ensuring children and families in the Blacktown and Mount Druitt areas receive the right support, at the right time, in the right way.

πŸ“Œ Who Can Access C4C?

Families with children aged 0–12 living in the Blacktown LGA and surrounding communities who are looking for support, connection, and programs that help their children grow and thrive.
