Windsor Park Lifecare Trust

We achieve this by providing support and care services that meet the needs of people: physical, mental, emotional and spiritual.

OUR VALUES

WE'RE HOLISTIC IN OUR APPROACH.

Our Christian heart means we affirm life in all of its joys and challenges and we provide a broad array of services with compassion and grace.

WE'RE PRACTICAL IN OUR WORK.

Faith is action and action shows faith; we’re prepared to get our hands dirty and meet people where they’re at, providing practical and workable solutions to the complexities of life.

WE'RE INDIVIDUAL IN OUR NATURE.

Building stronger communities starts with one person and we’ll treat each person with the respect they deserve. Yes, we’ll have group options because we believe we’re better together, but a group is just a collective of individuals contributing to each other. Each person is important to us.

WE'RE COMMITTED TO THE LONG TERM.

Nothing of value comes easily so we’re committed to growing sustainably and responsively as we change with the ebbs and flows of our community.

2023 review

2023 was a great year for LifeCare as we celebrated turning 5!

So many lives were impacted for good as we work to build stronger communities by putting our faith into action.

Every one of these numbers represents a person that has been supported and held up in their time of need. Together we have made our community stronger.

2020 and 2021 were like no other! The COVID-19 pandemic impacted our Windsor Park Group (of which we are an entity) in various different ways, and while it was a challenging year to say the least, we're so proud of the faith-filled, resilient, ready-to-adapt-and-change attitude that everyone in our Group embraced and lived out!

We encourage you to have a look at our Annual Reports, where you can see a glimpse into what the year looked like and entailed for our Windsor Park Group and each of our entities: Windsor Park Baptist Church, the Equip Trust, Windsor Park Hub Limited, and of course us, the Windsor Park LifeCare Trust.
