The effects of COVID-19 have the potential to place many people in even more vulnerable positions. This is pushing more families to breaking point, which could see thousands more children enter out-of-home care as a result. We need your support for immediate intervention and to provide hope for the future.
Thanks to the generosity of all our supporters over the last year, more of the most vulnerable children, young people and families in our community can be safe, hopeful and thriving.
We were able to provide 1,014 children and young people with safe homes and supported 434 foster and kinship carers.
We supported 1,281 children to heal their trauma and opened another Teaching Family Model home - a new innovative way of caring for children and young people in a family-style setting.
We helped 2,224 children and young people receive education and training. With support, we were also able to continue running our four school campus' across Victoria.
