We help students between the ages of 10-17 whose families are not able to fund all of their school costs.  We don’t want to see children and youth miss out on an education due to lack of money, nor do we want them to feel isolated at school because they can’t afford the same resources as their fellow students.

We have identified that there are many young people in Queensland and the Northern NSW who ‘go without’ on a regular basis.  We are concerned for our local students and this is our primary area of focus at this time.

Donated funds are channelled to kids in need, who are identified through the schools.  The money is paid to the provider of any resource or service that the child needs.  For example, if the student needs a school uniform, the funds are paid to the provider of the uniform, whether that’s a retailer or the school uniform shop.

We liaise with local schools, especially with Principals and Counsellors, to find out which students are in need of financial help.  The funds are channelled to these students via the school.

We are creating a network of Queensland and Northern NSW schools, so that we can identify the students to help.

The best way to get help for a student is through their school.  We are unable to assess individual students and we believe the schools are best placed to identify those who need assistance.
