Southern Cross Kids

Donate Fundraise

Southern Cross Kids provides a fun, safe and encouraging environment for children at risk. Through the experience of an annual camp and ongoing monthly Kids Club events, young people who have suffered trauma can enjoy friendship and fun in a safe place.

Safety and fun can feel like a luxury for many kids; yet it’s a childhood right. This is why so many of them absolutely love club - and for many of them, it is something they need in a very real way. We are making a remarkable difference in many young lives.

Through Kids Club we hope to:

Give traumatised young people a place where they can relax and make friends.
Enable these children to connect with caring adults in a safe and fun environment.
Partner one mentor with one child to journey a 12 month club program.

Monthly Kids Club

Our monthly Kids Club enables attendees to enjoy and sustain the friendships made on the annual South Sydney Southern Cross Kids Camp. Through interaction and laughter, the positive perspectives and skills gained at camp are kept alive.

Annual South Sydney Camp

Southern Cross Kids is a national organisation that works with children in six states across Australia. For more information check out the Southern Cross Kids website.

Kingsway Community Care partners with Southern Cross Kids to deliver the Southern Sydney Camp. These camps run over 5 days, involve a team of up to 60 trained volunteers who care for 30 children. Our involvement with Southern Sydney Camp was established in 2015 and in that time we’ve cared for and encouraged over 120 young people.

The camps are jam-packed with craft, games, cooking, fun and teaching. We desire to provide a week of safe and happy memories.

You Can Help

Southern Cross kids club relies on the dedication and commitment of a team of volunteers. If you would like to join our team we'd love to hear from you. Please get in contact with our Team Leader, Avril Mundy.

Birthday Fundraiser

I am very passionate about empowering young females in our community. When I was a young girl or teen, my self esteem and confidence was so low I didn’t feel empowered. I love love the work Jac cottage does to facilitate empowerment of young females and resonate with their mission statement of impacting hope, facilitate restoration, celebrate transformation in homeless young women.

Platform Nine

The impacts of domestic violence, homelessness, addiction, unaffordable housing, and family breakdown are driving many in our community to the margins of society. Platform Nine is a community of refuge of hope for those who need it most.
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.
Jacaranda Cottage

Jacaranda Cottage is a refuge for young women aged between 16 and 24 who have become homeless or are at risk of becoming homeless. Our vision is to serve, support and impart hope to young women and see their lives restored.
Housing the homeless

Homelessness is a complex issue with no single solution. However, Kingsway Care is committed to working collaboratively across the health and housing sectors to provide temporary and crisis accommodation for people who have become homeless due to domestic violence, financial hardship, or family breakdown in the Sutherland Shire and Georges River regions.
Official Opening of Georges River's First Adult Crisis Accommodation Service

There are currently 23 women, or women with children, who are survivors of Domestic and Family Violence in the Georges River region, and who have become homeless as a result of their situation. These women and children have had nowhere to turn, until now.
Support Kingsway Care

"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. Please donate today.
Personal Development Programs

The whole of a person matters. Through all of our projects our intention is to empower people to grow in a holistic way and to take ownership for their lives and decisions. We care about people's mental health, spiritual health, physical health, relational health, and their capacity to create for themselves a hope-filled future.
