The Child Friendly by Design 2528 Project has been a Communities for Children funded program for over 4 years. With the initial intention of creating a child and family friendly space in Warilla that would one day become a sustainable community capacity building project. A recent independent evaluation of the Healthy Cities Illawarra Program has shown that the project has surpassed all original ex
pectations, delivering a multi faceted community program built on the aspirations of children and families in the local area. Today the 2528 project is managed by an incorporated organisation. A Community Business with a board of directors make the decisions for the organisation, it's activities and the recruitment of volunteers. The 2528 Project at Crew Park, is a business in it's own right. They have a constitution (a set of rules to which they operate) a clear aim and a number of values that support the delivery of good quality activities for children and families in the local area. The Project is managed by volunteers and has a number of community advisors that support the development and guidance of the program. The project has a membership fee and survives on donations and grants. Show your support by 'liking' this page and sharing it with others.

Following a round of community consultation in 2012 Crew Park in Warilla was identified as an area that community members wanted to see improved for themselves, their families and the broader community. To date we have brought together a working group who have been responsible for supporting the planning and delivery of a wide range of community activity. This has included children's afterschool and holiday open access play in the park sessions, volunteer training, community cooking initiatives, sports sessions for children and the securing of funds to improve the park environment. Children from the local schools all have the opportunity to contribute to the planning and designing of the physical improvements and the program of activities ensuring that the focus of the project remains with children and families in the area. The project has been funded by Communities for Children Shellharbour for a further year (June 2015) and needs community members with a passion for working with children and other community members to come forward and support the project to ensure its long term sustainability.
