LIFT

LIFT LIFT is committed to working holistically with individuals, families, and the community.

We take a whole-family approach, using the Key Working model to provide tailored support. LIFT’S aims & objectives are to assist families to learn new skills to improve their lives and encourage their children to grow up feeling loved, safe and respected so that they can realise their full potential. Through support and advocacy LIFT aims to tackle child poverty, increase wellbeing for individuals

and families, to allow them to move forward from poverty and crises. This will be done in a variation of one – one support and group work sessions. Group work will consist of upskilling, cooking on a budget, budgeting, confidence building and employability skills. LIFT will follow Every Child, Every Chance model, working towards reducing child poverty, learn new skills to increase employment and training opportunities, assisting families to move forward from poverty and crises.

🌟 LIFT Kids Club – New Day & Time! 🌟

We’re excited to let you know that our Primary 1–3 LIFT Kids Club will now be meeting on Tuesdays from 3:00–4:30pm! 🎉

We realised our Monday group clashed with another group, so we’ve made this change because we want to make sure all our little LIFT kids still have the chance to come along, have fun, make friends and be part of the club! 💛

We can’t wait to see you all on Tuesdays! 🌈✨

LIFT Kids Club | Primary 1–3 | Tuesdays 3:00–4:30pm
Come along and be part of the LIFT family! 💫
