Can you assist?
Berry Street provides out-of-home care (foster care, kinship care and residential care) to the over 11,000 children and young people who cannot live safely at home each year.
The number of people enquiring about fostering has halved in our program over the past twelve months, a trend shared by other organisations and to which we can hypothesise as to why and attribute various reasons. But the demand for foster care remains.
We are investing heavily in activity that works with community organisations and groups to raise the profile of foster care, dispel myths, and promote people to open their homes to a child or young person in need.
Just in South East Metro alone, we receive an average of 54 children/young people referred each month and about 46% of these referrals for sibling groups.
The population of the City of Greater Dandenong is 168,362 and currently, we only have 4 foster care households in the entire area of Greater Dandenong.

LEARN TO SPEAK ENGLISH WHILE YOU MAKE NEW FRIENDS
Are you too shy to talk to people because you cannot speak English very well? Well, you can improve your English because Killester College runs a ‘Conversational English Class for adults’ every Monday morning from 10.00am till 12.00pm during school term, for parents, family members and friends. Classes are fun, where you are safe to try your new language skills in a friendly place. You will learn words that you may use every day while at the same time making new friends who will encourage you to talk in English. We also talk about things that are happening in our community.
We would love you to join us to help improve your English and at the same time have lots of fun in the Family Learning Centre at Killester College. Please sign in at the office.
