PIN at a Glance
What is PIN?
PIN is a not-for-profit organisation created by families to support families plan and create a secure and fulfilling future for their relative with a disability.
PIN'S vision is "an inclusive society where people are valued for their gifts and contributions and are supported to live a safe, secure and fulfilling life"
Why PIN?
For those of us who have a child with a disability, one of the most pressing questions is "What will happen to my child when I die?"
PIN was created to help families address this common concern.
PIN'S purpose is to support families plan and develop a secure and fulfilling future for their relatives with disabilities, to enable them to continue living the life they choose in a safe and secure environment when key family support is no longer available.
PIN'S Core Values are the essence and driving force behind the organization;
- Family Leadership
The majority of the PIN Board are individuals who have a relative with a disability. Families determine and direct life plans for their relatives: Families direct and monitor the services provided by PIN.
- Safety and Security through relationships
Relationships form the foundation of a safe and secure future for everyone: safety is directly related to the number and quality of relationships. Relationships = peace of mind.
- Everyone can communicate: everyone can be a valued member of the community
We believe that everyone has a contribution to make and that the unique contribution of people of all abilities is needed to enrich our communities.
- Self Sufficiency
PIN strives for financial independence for day-to-day operations so that it can advocate on behalf of families in an effective and accountable manner. It allows PIN to speak with a strong voice - the voice of families.
