FSCRC works with the local community to develop and flexibly deliver inclusive activities and programs that build upon, and strengthen, people’s interests, skills and talents. In order to best achieve this, FSCRC applies a community development approach and works in partnership with a range of appropriate hirers and service providers. The Centre also provides a range of hirable spaces, access to Council’s Library Service, a cafe area to connect and is a source of information about what’s going on in the local area.

The Gardens for Wildlife program supports wildlife friendly and environmentally sustainable gardening practices within Frankston City Council. The programs goal is to encourage and assist residents to establish gardens that attracts and supports local wildlife. Paired volunteers visit and assess gardens, creating a toolkit for residents to use as their guide towards creating a wildlife friendly garden. 

The Outings and Excursions Program encourages older residents to participate in group outings. The outings are a fun way for people to socialise with other members of the community. Outings include lunches and morning teas at restaurants and cafes, trips to the movies and shows, visits to museums and gardens and day trips.

Each outing is hosted by a Council staff member, and a volunteer accompanies each outing to support the group to socialise. The program runs from Monday to Friday, for people aged 65 years and over, and also for people with disabilities.
