No family should start their journey alone

Alone. Unsure. Overwhelmed. This is how most families’ experience raising a child with disability begins.

Families sometimes must wait months and often years before they are connected to peer support. In a recent survey, the majority of families went without support for over two years, and shockingly, it took up to 6 years before some families were connected to a peer support service. At Belongside, we believe no family should begin their journey alone.

Help us reach families navigating a disability diagnosis for their child.

We know how life-changing our peer support can be, especially in the early days. Your donation could help us to support families to navigate complex systems and services, connect them with a community of support, and grow their skills, knowledge and confidence to support their children and families to thrive.

Belongside Families (formerly known as Kindred) is a not-for-profit organisation and registered charity. All donations of $2 or more are tax-deductible.
