The NCCG relies on the generosity of our donors whose ongoing support allows us to develop and deliver services independently and with a focus on quality and compassion
Our programs are funded by individual and corporate donations. We have calculated that it costs around $4,000 per year to support a grieving child. Very few families who attend the Centre are in a financial position to pay this amount. All donations and sponsorships are appreciated. Donations $2 and over are tax deductible.
Donated funds are used to:
Fund capital projects; for example, we are hoping to find a permanent home for ‘A Friend’s Place’ in Sydney.
Provide scholarships for people training to work with bereaved children.
Fund publication of the Centre’s books about grief.
Fund publication of other audio visual resources produced by the Centre.
Pay for secretarial support.
Meet the cost of a part-time volunteer Coordinator.
Contribute to the cost of engaging specialist counsellors.
If you would like to donate supplies for A Friend’s Place or our counselling centre; items such as fresh flowers, snacks, tissues, disposable cups, cutlery and play items are all welcome.
To donate goods, please contact us on 1300 654 556 or email info@childhoodgrief.org.au for more detailed information.
There are two levels of volunteers as detailed below. Unfortunately, we do not provide ‘placements’ for students training in other organisations. All volunteers must have “working with children” certification.
These volunteers take the role of Support Workers in our children’s support groups.They must complete the following three day courses; ‘Core Course In Bereavement Counselling’ and ‘Working With Bereaved Children’. For more information call 1300 654-556 or email us.
