Our 2022-2024 Strategic Plan
The Benevolent Society's Strategic Plan sets out our direction for 2022 - 2024.
Building on our long experience and established strengths in supporting people, families and communities, our vision is to grow and develop The Benevolent Society in a way that enables us to anticipate and overcome the challenges of the future. We want to work together with corporate, government and philanthropic partners to build shared vision and action to alleviate disadvantage and exclusion in the Australian community.
Underpinning our plan are four pillars. They are the foundation for our organisation's activities and put a strategic frame around the work we have done for many years.
Our four pillars:
- Deliver person-centred services
- Influence Social Change
- Achieve growth for impact
- Build a thriving organisation
