Lifestart provides a service that embraces the very latest developments in best practice early childhood intervention. We receive generous funding from Ageing, Disability & Home Care, Department of Human Services NSW and the NSW Department of Education and Training, but there is a gap between what we receive in funding and what it costs to provide our level of service. To continue to provide this service, we must raise this extra income through community donation and fundraising activities.
Key Areas of Expenditure
To provide appropriate premises to deliver our services. Because Lifestart is community-based and parent-centred we provide services through seven centres spread across Sydney. Premises must be adapted to use by very small children who have a range of additional needs and continually adapted to meet changing needs.
To provide extra service when required by families in traumatic situations.
