The HCR family comes together for the first time ever!

HCR Australia was founded in 1993 by Dr Ross James who has extensive knowledge in communication for development. Since then, HCR entities have been established in United Kingdom and Pakistan. Each HCR entity works together towards the common goal of supporting marginalised communities through community-centred media.

In the last week of August, for the first time the HCR trans-national network came together for an intensive week of planning to see how we can support more communities in need. It was a productive time of discussion, and although we were all exhausted by the end of the week, we were all assured by the work HCR is doing in remote Western Australia, Pakistan, Philippines and countries in Africa to support the transformation of communities.

There is a lot more work to be done, but we are all very excited to see the future of HCR.
