About NECHC The North End Community Health Centre (NECHC) was established in 1971 in response to an absence of primary health care and other health services in Halifax’s North End. Located on Gottingen Street, we are in the heart of a unique and culturally diverse community. Today, governed by a board of directors, the NECHC is viewed by area residents as a “beacon of hope” in the community. Much more than a Primary Care Clinic, the NECHC has expanded in response to unmet needs of community members and is highly-valued by its patients and clients and their families. NECHC provides services to those living on the margins of society, through MOSH, Housing First and a wide range of community outreach initiatives. Vision Strong community - healthy people. Mission We support health and well-being in our community through quality primary health care, education and advocacy in an environment in which people are treated with respect and dignity and there is equitable access to services and programs. Values Respect. Community. Compassion. Excellence. Innovation.

Our mission - To change what it is to be blind through innovative programs and powerful advocacy that enable Canadians impacted by blindness to live the lives they choose. Our Commitments Increase understanding and dispel misconceptions Lack of awareness about the realities of life with blindness and sight loss is the underlying barrier that creates most of the issues for the people we serve across all parts of their lives – issues from lack of employment opportunities to accessibility barriers to unequal education experiences to social exclusion. Remove barriers and create safe journeys People with sight loss continue to loudly voice that transportation barriers are among the greatest they face, whether they live in rural or urban environments. Support parents and kids in and out of the classroom Kids who are blind or have low vision aren’t receiving the classroom support they need to excel, while parents who are blind are often unable to participate in their children’s education, as assignments, report cards, and other critical communications aren’t provided in accessible formats. At the same time, parents report a distinct lack of awareness about sight loss among medical professionals, which leads to a lack of information, resources, and guidance.

At the Canadian Cancer Society, we are committed to uniting and inspiring Canadians to take control of cancer. That’s why we are always funding high performance research that improves cancer outcomes and addresses the greatest opportunities for progress. It’s why we lead change in the most pressing areas of cancer policy including prevention, access, affordability and support. And it’s why we provide the highest quality cancer information for all Canadians, promote cancer prevention and provide targeted support to help people with cancer, their families and caregivers cope. We set ourselves apart from other cancer charities by taking a comprehensive approach against cancer.

Fighting Blindness Canada (FBC) is the largest charitable funder of vision research in Canada. Over our 50-year history, FBC has contributed critical funding for the development of sight-saving treatments and cures for blinding eye diseases. By raising and stewarding funds, FBC is helping drive forward research that supports our goal of understanding why vision loss occurs, how it can be slowed and how sight can be restored. We are an invaluable resource for individuals and families impacted by blindness, providing accurate eye health information through our website and educational events, as well as engaging with government and other stakeholders to advance better vision health policies.

The Rotary Club of Halifax Harbourside was established in 1989 and today is a vibrant Club of 50+ members, representing a broad range of backgrounds and professions. As a group, we are committed to doing good locally and internationally, to personal and professional growth and development, and to having fun in everything we do. Like all Rotary Clubs throughout the world, our Club's principal motto is Service Above Self. Rotary organizes projects around Five Avenues of Service – Club [capacity], Community, International, Youth and Vocational – to ensure service efforts are balanced and effective. Our Club's approach to service projects is to reflect our members’ passions in the projects that we pursue. We ask our members "What would you like to accomplish through Rotary?" and go from there. Our service projects are many and varied: We do larger multi-year projects like partnering with Hospice Halifax and St. George's YouthNet and have partners with whom we have done several projects in different years (The Themba Project in South Africa and the Father Tony / Pa Modou Hub in Gambia). Each year we also also start new projects that are brought to us by Club members - for example, many of our members have volunteered at Halifax Connects for 2 years now because a new member said this was an important event that we should support. Our Club provides funds to our partners, but we believe we are at our best when we are directly engaged so, as much as possible, we engage as volunteers with the groups we support. To fund our service projects, we conduct some smaller fundraisers (low effort) and 2 major fundraisers - our Mother's Day Brunch and the Halifax Ribfest. All our fundraisers have to be fun and provide good returns, and we focus on "pull" fundraisers that draw people. Halifax Ribfest is happening Thursday, June 30th to Sunday, July 3rd on the Waterfront! - See more at: http://www.rotaryhalifaxharbourside.ca/SitePage/about-our-club or www.ribfesthalifax.ca
