Can you Foster A Future?

This Foster Care Week, we thank all our amazing carers at Barwon, Child, Youth and Family, for the difference they make in the lives of so many children and young people in our community.

Victoria could have 27,500 children in out-of-home care by 2026; more than any other state and territory.*

Not everybody can commit to being a foster carer! But by making a small donation to the BCYF Foster A Future Appeal, you are supporting us to provide more families, that can give the gift of a home for a child or young person needing care in our community.

We need you because every child and young person deserves a safe and stable home.

Fundraising for
Meli (Formerly BCYF and Bethany)
Meli is built on more than 150 years of combined local experience and heritage from Bethany and Barwon Child, Youth and Family (BCYF). We started a new chapter on 1 April 2023 by forming one strong organisation with the purpose of supporting people and strengthening communities. We bring deep expertise spanning generations, giving us the perspective and foresight to know that a preventative focus will have the greatest impact on our community as a whole. From a women’s refuge to a babies’ home and mothercraft nurses’ training centre, to a leading kindergarten and community services provider, Bethany has always been there for those in need. From a children’s orphanage to a leading child, youth and family services provider, BCYF has a history of adapting and changing, always with the community at its heart. Combined, we are even better placed to continue to serve our local community.
