Fostering Hope Australia’s mission is to support children in “out-of-home” care (foster care and kinship care arrangements). We also support remote WA communities and other charities by:
Gathering donated goods (clothing, toys, nappies, school bags and more) and providing them to children and families (at no cost)
Organising child child-focused Fostering Joy events for children in care, to promote joy and togetherness
Providing new suitcases to children in care through our Fostering Journey program
Financial Donations
It takes a village to raise a child and together we can make a difference in the lives of vulnerable children and families in Western Australia.
Donating Children’s Items
Fostering Hope promotes the reuse of children’s items (in excellent condition) by accepting pre-loved and new donations at our store and drop-off points.
Volunteering

Our Programs
Fostering Journey
Moving homes is a big step for a child. Feedback from carers was that all too often, children arrive into care with a few belongings packed in a rubbish bag. A child’s self worth should never be tied to a plastic bag. Fostering Hope’s program provides children with their own, new suitcase or sports bag to keep. This helps ensure a dignified transition, to support them on their journey.
Fostering Joy
It’s not enough to provide just the essentials for children. Our Fostering Joy program provides parties, picnics, excursions and other fun events for children in care. These events help children laugh, play, be excited, and experience the feeling of family joy. It also gives them the opportunity to meet children with similar experiences.
Fostering Community Outreach
Fostering Hope supports regional and remote communities with clothing, toys, prams and other necessities. Many of these communities lack affordable shops, and Fostering Hope aims to help bridge the cap for those in need. This interconnection strengthen ties between the families both remote and in the city.
“It takes a village to raise a child”. Fostering Hope is the coming together of volunteers and the community to create a village for children in care. All children deserve to feel support and love.
