Building Communities

The UnitingCare South Australia office is located within the Uniting Church SA Presbytery and Synod Office and provides support to the work of UnitingCare agencies and schools through the following activities;

Synergy

Synergy coordinates the common purchasing and contracting requirements of the Uniting Church and UnitingCare agencies and schools to obtain the best value on a range of goods and services. Synergy's goal is to ensure the good stewardship of scarce resources. 

Gatherings

UnitingCare South Australia facilitates regular gatherings of agencies and schools, as a whole, and in service areas. These are opportunities to resource and support each other and share common interests. 

UnitingCare South Australia also coordinates the Annual Commissioning Service for CEOs, Principals, board and council members. This is an opportunity to formally recognise the commitment of those involved in agencies and schools and commission them for the year ahead. 

Governance

Each UnitingCare agency and school is governed by a board or council. UnitingCare is committed to ensuring each board and council is supported to fulfil its responsibilities to the best of its ability. This includes providing access to resources and training in the ethos of the Uniting Church and governance. 

Join with us

We believe community is made up of you and me and us and them and together, we can make a difference. 

Pancake Day

Hold a Pancake Day event anytime during February at your home, school, workplace, church or club. Donations and funds raised from Pancake Day events will support local UnitingCare agencies in their work to alleviate poverty and disadvantage in communities state-wide. 

Christmas Appeal 

Help us bring a little joy to those less fortunate at Christmas by donating a gift underneath the UnitingCare Christmas trees at your nearest Target or Target Country store.  Every donation counts as we continue to give hope to people in need.

Volunteer

UnitingCare offers a great range of volunteering opportunities within its networks. There is something for everyone. Let us know where your interests lie and we'll link you with an agency or school where your support will be welcomed. 

Uniting Director

Uniting Director provides an opportunity for people wishing to serve on a Uniting Church board or council to register their interest and be matched with UnitingCare agencies and schools seeking their skills.
