Community centre rebrands itself

Peninsula Community Centre has "rebranded" itself as Coast Community Connections at an official ceremony at Koolewong on Friday, February 15.

The community centre has been a part of the Central Coast for nearly 40 years.

From its beginnings in 1975 as the Woy Woy Recreational Centre, the organisation's aim has been to provide a hub of community programs, activities and support services.

Coast Community Connections CEO Mr Andrew Tuck said that a brand change was necessary to reflect the growing services of the organisation.

"While our roots are firmly focused on the Peninsula and indeed the Peninsula Community Centre at Woy Woy, we have recently expanded our services to provide support to the wider Central Coast community," said Mr Tuck.

"Due to our growing range of services and activities outside of the Peninsula, we identified a need to update our branding to create a name and corporate identity that better reflects the organisation we are today," he said.

He said Coast Community Connections worked with the community in its entirety from children, young people and families to people living with disabilities and elderly citizens.

The organisation offered support services in a wide range of areas, including gambling addiction, drug and alcohol counselling and Community Aged Care Packages.

"We are excited to launch a new brand which better reflects our mission to offer a broad range of services, activities and programs that strengthen our community, connect people with one another and enable them to lead fulfilling lives," said Mr Tuck.
