What is Reclink?
An address by Peter McGrath from SalvoCare-Eastern on one aspect of it, that by which the Salvation Army participates namely sponsorship of the SalvoHawks AFL footy team was informative. In telling of his personal experiences and observations with this team we got an broader insight into Reclink.
Reclink organizes sport and art programs for disadvantaged Australians to create socially inclusive, life-changing opportunities. It centers on those with past and current issues with substance abuse, mental illness and isolation, in short giving rehabilitation and recovery opportunities.
In conjunction with more than 200 community organizations, Reclink Australia's programs create pathways to improved health and well being, education and employment outcomes for all participants. It is partnered by the Federal and State governments and agencies , the cities of Sydney and Melbourne and supported in specific pursuits by sporting and cultural bodies.
At a comparative low cost to taxpayers, Reclink Australia is a proven model with extensive reach. It's a framework by which governments, the community and the corporate sector can be part of a cost-effective solution to the provision of recovery/rehabilitation opportunities for the disadvantaged.
