There is potential inside all of us – we all have it in

Every charity exists to help solve a problem – our charity
exists to help solve many problems, from childcare shortages, social isolation,
mental health issues, access to wellness, and more. Today, our network is
spread across 100+ program locations in HRM and across the province, meeting
the most urgent needs of our communities through mental health supports,
accessible childcare, support for an increasing immigrant population, safe
