Creating Our Community For The Future
As former child migrants we believe the formation of C-BERS Services approximately ten years ago was one of the most successful initiatives undertaken for us. However, over time the needs of C-BERS clients have changed, and in response, C-BERS is changing too.
This seems like a good time for us to join collectively and use this change of direction to our mutual advantage.
We would like to consolidate the groups that already exist and form a network that organizes social functions and ensures a good flow of information. The new network will not affect the current structure of organisations – it will be a ‘linking’ group that joins us together and helps us stay in touch with each other.
Representatives from associations including the Friendship Society, Tardun Old Boys, Bindoon and others, have met to discuss this. There will be a get together prior to the year ending to further discuss our future plans and ideas.
We think it is time to work together to form alliances that will promote our own interests and that will strengthen the common bonds we share. We invite you to join us as we work together in making this a success.
C-BERS has contracted Creating Communities to help us develop the network and ensure that we remain a strong group that provides social support to former child migrants.
