Children's Centre Appeal - Hartnett House

For many years Melbourne Citymission's Hartnett House in Brunswick has led the way in placed-based community care and development.

Programs offered at Hartnett House are provided free to participants and include essential life, learning, language, parenting and employment skills through which isolated families can fulfil their potential, re-connect to society and become significant contributors to the community.

Individuals accessing these vital services include parents and children with disabilities, refugee, migrant and low-income families, children with developmental delays and young parents.

Melbourne Citymission needs to raise funds to ensure these services are delivered, enhanced and expanded.

How will the funds be used?

Funds will be used to develop and extend the following current programs:

• Parent Information sessions - for migrant, refugee and socially isolated families
• Intensive playgroups for children with developmental delays
• Mother Goose intensive playgroups for families at risk
• Dad's Support group- for fathers of children with disabilities
