At Feros Care, we’re big on collaboration. We’ve always consulted widely with our communities, and our co-design principles help to ensure that we’re continuing to hear everyone’s voice to create projects with the people they are meant for.
This has made us leaders in the field of Community Capacity Building Projects, with our initiatives working hard to make communities more accessible and inclusive for all people.
By combining knowledge and resources with key partners, we’re proud to be the trend-setters; producing events, programs and projects that are true game changers, especially in communities that often have the most difficulty accessing what they really need.
Many resources are available on our website, helping build capacity for people with disability and their networks far beyond our regions.
