Gold Foundation

Gold Foundation Gold Foundation is a nonprofit organization discovering the unique abilities of young autistic people That was in back in 2008.

It all started in 2007 with one child and one mother searching for a Social Skills Program and a place to reach other parents on the same journey. Little help was available so she approached the Advertiser Sunday Mail Foundation and with their generous support eight boys aged from 8-10 years were able to take part in a very successful pilot Social Skills Program. During the course of that year all

the mothers of the children that participated in this program recognised the urgent need for a Centre to support children with Asperger Syndrome and their families. While their children attended this Pilot Social Skills program every Tuesday afternoon, these mothers shared their dreams and aspirations over cups of coffee nearby in the Dulwich Café. From these very humble beginnings jotted down on a paper napkin in the café, to a Foundation which is now reaching hundreds of young people on the Autism Spectrum, this core group of Mothers have realised their dreams and launched what is now The Gold Foundation in Camden Park. We continue to aspire and expand our programs and reach even more children. Today the Gold Foundation offers; a place of belonging for young people on the Autism Spectrum and their families, Social Skills Training Programs, Youth Group, Fun events for the whole family, Seminars and workshops for parents/carers and families. To think it all started with one child and one mother who was determined to change his world. Little did she realise that she was not alone and so began the journey to improve the lives of autistic children and in doing so has opened the door to hundreds of families on the same path.
