Backpacks 4 SA Kids
Backpacks 4 SA Kids is a charity that supports children and young people from newborn to 24 who have become displaced from their homes often as a result of a trauma and with little to no personal belongings. The aim is to ensure each child has items of their own to help distract them from the situation they are in, have control of something that is just theirs and reduce the stress and anxiety these kids face on a daily basis.
Protea Place
Protea Place is the Darling Downs only women’s support and crisis centre that provides a unique day time drop-in service to assist women to get life back on track after experiencing homelessness, domestic violence or other life trauma.
Raise Foundation
Raise’s early-intervention, mentoring program matches young people in high schools with volunteer mentors from the community who spend time with them each week, offering support. With industry-leading training and supervision from qualified Program Counsellors, Raise supports volunteers to ensure they have all the skills required to mentor young people, spreading hope through communities.
Australian Literacy and Numeracy Foundation
ALNF is a national charity seeking to assist people in our most marginalised communities to gain vital language, literacy and communication skills. We believe that literacy is freedom, allowing individuals to access education, participate meaningfully in our society and to have a voice.
