MAKE A DONATION

At Cafs, your contribution counts.

We’ve been supporting children and families as a proudly independent organisation for nearly 160 years and, in that time, we have expanded to deliver more than 44 innovative support programs specifically designed to meet the needs of people across the Victorian Central Highlands.

It’s hard to believe that even the smallest donation could make a significant difference to someone experiencing hardship. Just $5 could provide a new outfit from Cafs Thread Together Hub to a person in need.

Your gift, no matter the amount, will help Cafs continue to build a stronger, more resilient community.

Donations* can be made by following the links below.

*Cafs is a registered charity and donations of $2 or more are tax deductible.

Today is Intersex Awareness Day

We stand in solidarity with the intersex community, celebrating the diversity of human bodies and identities. Intersex people are born with physical sex characteristics that don’t fit typical definitions of male or female.

Let’s raise awareness, promote acceptance, and advocate for the rights of intersex individuals. Together, we can create a world where everyone is respected and valued for who they are. 💜

Join us in spreading knowledge and support!

This week we are celebrating Ace Week, formerly Asexual Awareness Week.

Ace Week has been growing alongside the ace community ever since it was first established as Asexual Awareness Week back in 2010. 

It is an international campaign dedicated to raising awareness and expanding education of asexuality.

The week gives all of us an opportunity to celebrate how far our community has come and to dream about the future we will create together.
