Help us create safer, more accessible spaces
Through our Creating Safer Spaces initiative, we are improving and developing environments that are inclusive and designed to meet the needs of everyone who uses them, helping to remove barriers, enhance accessibility and create spaces where people feel safe, welcomed and connected to their community.

Creating Safer Spaces
Creating Safer Spaces is a Mercy Connect capital works initiative focused on improving safety, comfort and accessibility across our facilities. With your support, we can upgrade accessible bathrooms and build covered walkways so participants, staff, families and community members can move around safely and comfortably in all weather.
Spaces that welcome the community
Our facilities are used by people with disability as well as staff and community members during events. Your donation helps create inclusive environments where people feel welcome and connected.
