Foster Carers Needed

There is a strong need for more local foster carers who can provide nurturing and supportive homes for children not able to live safely with their own families, and there are different ways people can support children and young people as carers. Perhaps this could be you and your household? We encourage anyone interested to be in touch and find out more – we look forward to hearing from you! 

 

Scout School Holiday Program

A Scout School Holiday Program will be offered in Camberwell. This program is designed to give young people the chance to enjoy fun, hands-on activities, build valuable life skills, and connect with others in a positive, supportive environment.

 

The Camberwell Scout School Holiday Program offers a range of engaging activities that help develop confidence, teamwork, problem-solving skills, and resilience—all while having a fantastic time. See the flyer below for more information.
