Giving disadvantaged children a better start for a brighter future. Supporting welfare, education and mental health.
Oak Tree Foundation for Children is a charity organisation for helping young Australian children that are disadvantaged, in crisis and in poverty.
The profit generated from our fundraising will be given to those little hands in need. We are determined to help children with basic needs, extra educational support and mental health support.
We want to provide opportunities to disadvantaged children to set up a better start and to gain a better future.
Our story
For nearly three decades, we have been working to ensure equal opportunities for everyone in Australia, no matter their personal circumstances.
What started out as a small group of like-minded volunteer carers has flourished over the years into the borough's biggest provider of short-break services. Today, countless families rely on The Oak Foundation for Children.
As the largest short-break services provider in the borough, our impact can be felt across Australia. At any one time, we have 60+ regular participants for our playschemes. And we currently have 50+ children registered in our nursery across all age groups.
Our Youth Run Model
Our organisation is powered entirely by people under the age of 27. Over the last 18 years, we have upskilled a generation of changemakers in Australia with the knowledge to champion sustainable development. Our young volunteers and staff have run large fundraising initiatives. They have been upskilled in advocacy, fundraising, financial management and every other aspect of effective social change.
Become a supporter and give a chance to the children today
