Innovating new services to address

This year, we are sharpening our lens on the lived experiences of our
communities, particularly around issues of economic inequality, marginalisation,
and underrepresentation.
Many members of our communities suffer in silence4often compounded by
cultural and religious expectations4and have long been overlooked by statutory
services. The absence of accurate and meaningful data has contributed to a lack
of targeted investment and a complacency that we can no longer afford to
ignore. We are committed to amplifying these voices, addressing inequities, and
ensuring our communities are properly represented, heard and supported.
