At SNDYS, we believe in giving back, which is why each month a different team member gets to choose a charity close to their heart. For every sale made, we'll donate $1 to that chosen charity. This month, our Warehouse Manager, Raegan, has chosen The Family Co.
In our community, families face a variety of challenges that require comprehensive support and assistance. The Family Co, a charity local to the Sutherland Shire, are dedicated to providing a wide range of services, programs, and assistance to families in diverse situations.
The Family Co stands out because of its commitment to addressing the multifaceted needs of families. Whether it’s providing support for domestic violence survivors, offering specialised services for defence workers, or assigning case workers for personalised assistance, The Family Co is there to help. Their court assistance programs ensure that families have the legal support they need during difficult times.
A critical component of The Family Co’s offerings is its counselling services. These services provide essential mental health support to individuals and families, helping them navigate personal and interpersonal challenges with professional guidance.
In addition to these critical services, The Family Co offers a variety of programs designed to support the growth and development of individuals within the family unit. Their youth programs and support groups provide young people with the resources they need to thrive, while their work with Aboriginal families ensures that cultural sensitivity and specific community needs are met.
One of the standout initiatives of The Family Co is their involvement in the National Student Wellbeing Program. This program is essential in promoting mental health and overall wellbeing among students, providing them with the tools and support necessary to succeed both academically and personally.
The Family Co truly serves as the all-round family service that this community needs. By supporting The Family Co, we are investing in the strength and resilience of our community. Every dollar invested in The Family Co generates a social return of $2.24, demonstrating the significant impact and value of their work. Every contribution helps to ensure that more families have access to the vital resources they need to navigate life’s challenges. Your support can make a significant difference in the lives of families struggling with a wide range of issues, from domestic violence to educational difficulties.
We sat down with the CEO of The Family Co, Michelle Fairweather, to learn more about the Charity and the work they do to help families in need. Check out the full video here.
