Our Vision

Every child deserves the right to grow up in a safe home.

Our mission is to help disadvantaged young kids grow up successfully. We believe every child has the right to thrive. We believe our community becomes stronger because of the work we do and the generosity of our supporters.

Did You Know

• Children and young people make up over 43% of all the homeless in Australia?
• Youth homelessness is caused by domestic violence, abuse, and familybreakdown?

Our Mission

We at Caretakers Cottage have been working with these children and young people for 40 years. Our service helps the most disadvantaged youth in our community, as well as provide a buffer of support to their families. We reconnect homeless teens with their families, organize counselling and other support for parents having a tough time relating to their teens. We help kids get back into school and have something to look forward to when waking up in the morning. We work to give these kids a chance to succeed.

For this reason, we ask you to keep in mind the homeless youth in our community this holiday season. Your donation will help us support these disadvantaged children and young people facing serious crisis in their lives.

Your support will help our programs such as the Caretakers Cottage Youth Refuge in Bondi, helping vulnerable teens in urgent need, giving them a roof over their head, get back into school and reconnect with their families; and Options Youth Housing, helping disadvantaged young people get a start in life, through semi-independent housing, living skill programs, training them to become fully functioning adults.

Help us make this holiday season a joyful one for kids in need, and become a partner in funding our services for the coming year.
