At The Smith Family, we believe that education is one of the world’s most powerful change agents. That’s why we focus on helping young Australians to overcome educational inequality caused by poverty. As a national, independent charity, every day we work with thousands of children and their families to help them unlock better futures for themselves.

Anglicare Victoria works with children and families to build better tomorrows. We work with them to find solutions for children in need, create opportunities and pathways for young people, and provide tools and support for families to stay together. Real-world problems don’t fit into neat boxes, so we build flexible solutions around each family’s unique challenges and strengths. We find innovative ways to overcome challenges and to make the system better. Overcoming these challenges means we never stand still. Our staff draw on the best evidence and research and offers understanding, expertise and hands-on experience. We help children and families reach their full potential and improve life for everyone. Every day our clients face their challenges and achieve great things. The work they do is never easy, and neither is ours. But it has never been more necessary. Together, we can meet those challenges. This means children and young people who are safe and strong, happier and healthier homes and families, and better future for everyone. We work for better.
