Big Yellow Umbrella - Camden Community Connections 3.46

Big Yellow Umbrella (Formally Camden Community Connections) has been providing services to the community for over 30 years. Founded in 1987 to provide community services and facilities for the new housing developments and associated growing population in and around Camden and Narellan where there were no existing services, BYU has responded to the changing needs of the community as it has increased in size and diversity.

Today, CCC provides services, programs and activities to meet the needs of all sectors of the local community. Our services include a Children’s Services program, Youth Services, and Community Development, including promoting and supporting a number of community groups since their inception.

We are committed to ensuring that we understand the people that live in our community and their needs through consultation and a key focus of our programs is to ensure equity of access for all groups in our community. We aim to strengthen and enrich the community by connecting people with local services, community activities and each other.

Our vision is a strong and empowered community, where active participation in community life reduces isolation and disadvantage and improves overall quality of life.

Our valuesdirect the way in which we operate and ensure that we are focused on providing a high level of service that meets the needs of our community. We are
