We support these children in educational needs, uniforms, medication, glasses & baby items such as nappies, milk formulas. Children’s Fund provides assistance in situations where children need material support immediately, for which their carers are unable to cater for. This is particularly so in situations where children require food, clothing, medication, uniforms, books, payment for a school ou
ting or project, sportswear, visits to a
medical consultant or any specialised treatment. This fund has been in operation since 2003, and helps many children every year. Its main aim is to decrease the
negative effects children go through because of difficult situations within their
family. Who can benefit from the Children’s Fund? The fund helps children who are already receiving a service from the Foundation for Social Welfare Services. Thus the Children’s Fund offers
additional assistance, as part of the care plan developed for the child and his/her
family. Employees from the Foundation for Social Services, support this fund through CSR activities. How are funds allocated? Social workers and other professionals within the Foundation for Social Welfare Services, identify children and families who are already receiving
a service and need additional help. They file a formal request to the Children’s Fund Committee who assesses all requests and decides accordingly. This Committee is composed of the Director for Alternative Care, two members of staff and a representative from the Fundraising Committee. Donations are never given directly to families, but are administered by the Social Worker or professional who have identified their needs. Contact Details
