Hope in a suitcase 

The aim is to provide children across Australia, entering foster care or out-of-home care, something to call their own. To send them a message that they are important and cared for by our community. To encourage self-care by providing new essential items such as a toothbrush, toiletries, hairbrush, underwear and sanitary items for the older girls. A pair of pyjamas and a change of clothes. A teddy to cuddle. A journal or colouring in book and pencils to encourage creativity, and a toy to provide a distraction away from their turmoil.

National Centre for Childhood Grief

Bereavement counselling to children aged 3 to 18 years from the Chatswood-Willoughby region.  We are one of few services that specialise in child bereavement counselling and we provide this as a free and unlimited service up until adulthood. In offering counselling for free, the NCCG removes the financial barrier which frequently prevents bereaved families, who are often financially compromised following the death of a significant provider or primary caregiver, from seeking support.
