February 6th, 2024Families facing increased financial pressure: Cafs

Cafs (Child and Family Services, Ballarat) is seeing an increase in demand for support from across the region.

Families are already feeling the pinch and now they face the additional pressure of trying to equip children with all the necessities required for the school year.

Cafs’ focus for the start of 2024 is firmly on giving the gift of education to local children
and families experiencing hardship.

Cafs are now calling for financial donations, or the donation of gift vouchers of any denomination, which would enable families to purchase school necessities including basic uniform items, shoes, stationery, back- packs and lunch boxes. Visit www.cafs.org.au or call 1800 692 237
