Community Connect Central West (CCCW) was founded in 2014, with the aim of implementing a collective approach toward improving the resilience and wellbeing of individuals and their communities. Based on validated research evidence showing that the degree of health, strength and resilience, a community is capable of achieving, rests significantly in its collective capacity to connect, relate and work together in meaningful and purposeful ways.
Hence, it is CCCW’s core mission to help individuals, local groups and organisations develop and attain a voice, a sense of identity and belonging, and the capacity to connect, integrate, and interact with one another and their communities.
CCCW utilises the collective strength of its community relations, and extensive network of project partners representing a broad range of sectors including health, employment, community welfare, business, industry, training and education.
Since its inception, CCCW has experienced a significant growth and expansion of its services, and now works closely with towns and communities across regional NSW,
