“Whether it be for a year or three months, you’re making a difference. You fall in love with them, you know, and they’re part of your family,” say Anglicare foster carers Mark and Jenny
Anglicare Southern Queensland has this week welcomed the announcement from the State Government of funding for the needs of all young people in care up to age 21 so they can be better supported to transition into adulthood
Queensland’s refusal to extend foster care for its most vulnerable young people is “bewildering” given most Australian states now offer care to the age of 21, national Home Stretch Chair Paul McDonald said recently at the launch of a new series of videos in Brisbane featuring the lived experience of those in the foster care system
“I’ve been a part of many teams in my life, but the one I am most proud of is my family…I do give a big credit to carers out there, big credit to those guys,” says North Queensland Cowboys rising rugby league player Valentine Holmes, as Anglicare partners with the NRL for the second consecutive year
The Gympie Anglicare Foster and Kinship Care service thanks community members from St Peter’s Anglican Church, the Gympie Sports Club and the wider Gympie community who donated much needed presents for children in out-of-home care, as well as for the biological children of their volunteer carers, putting smiles on young faces this Christmas
Students and Early Learning Centre children from Hillbrook Anglican School recently participated in the Anglicare Backpack Project, providing 90 backpacks filled with essential items for children going into out-of-home care
