Above and Beyond: 2023-2024 Impact Report

Leadership Report

Above and Beyond

The Neighbourhood Group Community Services is known to all as a place where staff and volunteers go above and beyond to provide care, support, and advocacy to meet the whole needs of people, families, and neighbourhoods! Together we provide extraordinary support for people in need, but also tackle the big issues and crises that touch all of us everyday in a big urban city. Thank you for reading our Impact Report and the powerful stories of Andrew, Ella, Fatimot, Farzana, Luca, Masha, Wilbert and more.

There are many highlights from 2023/2024, but we especially want to welcome Kensington-Bellwoods Community Legal Services and Downsview Childcare into our group! The path to justice for many of our participants includes free community legal services, and the path to prosperity for many of our families includes affordable childcare. In addition to these Downsview and Kensington locations, we also opened three new offices in partner hubs in Scarborough this year, with the focus of providing holistic services to youth, women, and families. We are proud to be building successful and sustainable neighbourhoods in Toronto.

On behalf of the Board of Directors, we want to express our sincere appreciation for all of our incredible and dedicated staff, volunteers and peer leaders, our generous donors and funders, and our neighbours who fight for a better Toronto.

Bill Sinclair: President & CEO and Jennifer Hartviksen: Chair, Board of Directors

Volunteer Spotlight

Thank you to our dedicated volunteers!

Last year, over 730 of our dedicated volunteers delivered more than 38,167 hours of essential support to our community! Whether it’s helping at our Corner Drop-in and Food Bank, preparing meals at Community Dinner, giving time as a Board member, acting as a community mediator, doing community outreach, helping at income tax clinics, tutoring, or mentoring, our volunteers make a huge difference in the lives of vulnerable people in Toronto.

Mauricia Harvey, Meals on Wheels and Teesdale Food Bank volunteer

“I volunteer because I want to make an impact in people's lives. Meals on Wheels is a great opportunity to help others who are isolated and struggle with food insecurity. When we deliver healthy meals, we also connect with people and see if they need any other help. We give them respect and dignity. I absolutely love volunteering here and I’ll continue to do it for a very long time.”

Board of Directors

Thank you to our Board of Directors from 2023-2024.
