    1. About Us
    2. Our Impact

    Our Impact

    Through the projects and partnerships of Kingsway Care we are providing care and support for thousands of families each year. Our work in supporting survivors of domestic violence, mentoring children and youth, and meeting practical needs is restoring lives, families, and communities.

    Impact on homelessness:

    Our accommodation services assist hundreds of women, men, and children each year.

    Through Platform Nine and Jacaranda Cottage we have housed and supported 285 guests over the last 12 months, including:

    • 197 females,
    • 136 children, and 
    • 43 males

    With the highest rate of success in NSW for rehousing people into independent living, Kingsway Care is having a remarkable impact on homelessness in the Sutherland Shire and Sydney East region. With this success many guests have experienced improved living conditions, gained new life skills and found hope for their future.

    Kingsway Care is now South Eastern Sydney's leading provider of adult Temporary and Crisis Housing, and in partnership with St Vincent De Paul we are the ONLY after-hours emergency Domestic and Family Violence accommodation service in the region.

    Impact on Children and Youth

    Since 2015, Southern Cross Kids Club has impacted the lives of over 120 children who have experienced trauma throughout their lives. The impact on these children, their families, and carers is difficult to quantify. However, the stories of change that we hear, the friendships that are made, and the connections between children and caring adults is evidence enough to suggest this program is rewriting the future for many kids. 

    Not only do we see positive changes in the children we serve, the 60 adult volunteers involved with kids club and camp are powerfully impacted through the lives, stories and connections shared with the kids. 

    Impact through Practical Help

    The basics of life include more than food, clothing and shelter. While we do provide these we also provide members of our local community with love, a listening ear, a cuppa and a chat. 

    Our Op Shop in Jannali plays a significant role within the local community. We resource people with clothing, books, housewares, and other essentials. Beyond the practical, the shop is a community where:

    • We train volunteers and teach them valuable skills
    • Clients in our accommodation services can volunteer
    • Many locals come in for a cuppa and a chat

    We also provide:

    • Christmas hampers to families in need,
    • Community events to help bring people together, and
    • Monthly Community Dinners.

      Run to Restore 2023

      Over 500 people in the Sutherland Shire and Georges River region experience homelessness every night. This includes young and vulnerable women who are without a safe place to stay. This is simply not okay. Join us on May 28th, 2022 as we run and raise money to enable Jacaranda Cottage to re-open.

    • Supplying life basics

      Often the simplest things make the biggest difference. For many, access to a nutritious meal, basic furniture and household items, and school supplies is a luxury that most take for granted. Kingsway Care is committed to serving the community through offering access to some of life's basic essentials.

      "Platform Nine gave us the care and support we needed in a scary and uncertain time. Mum is back at work now, and I'm still studying for my exams. Life's not perfect, but we're safe and that's all this young girl and her mum could ask for." Your support will help Kingsway Care serve and support more people like Jessica and her mum.
