SUPPORT US

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Whether you're a local business looking for community partnership opportunities,
a family, couple, or an individual looking to get more involved in the
community, we'd love your support. We have a range of ways you can help us
support the local community.

HELP US TO HELP GROW KID'S DREAMS


DONATE TO TRUST IN KIDS

We've Established a Fund to Support Our Children In Achieving Their Dreams for
the Future

Trust In Kids is an initiative of UMFC. The fund is for children and young
people up to 21 years who have limited opportunities because of family, social,
financial or other individual circumstances. Some of these children are affected
by issues relating to family violence, mental health and drug and alcohol use.
The fund is available for educational, social, recreational and cultural
opportunities.

Your donation, no matter the amount, can make a real difference to the lives of
children less fortunate than others.



You can also donate your time, skills or knowledge by volunteering at UMFC.

UMFC TESTIMONIALS



What people have to say about UMFC

“I have found you all to be very open and non-judgmental which is great. I wish
it had been around for my parents to help with us kids.”

Parent, Family Relationship Centre

“You’re unbiased – that’s the main thing. You listen to everyone’s point of view
and don’t try to decide who is telling the truth. We understand that you have to
stay neutral and keep us focused on achieving what is best for the child and
you’ve done a wonderful job.”

Grandparent, Family Relationship Centre

“I honestly don’t know where to start, words cannot describe how thankful I am
for all the help and support you have given me and my family over the past year.
I was almost about to give up when my last phone call for help was to the Hume
Riverina Community Legal Service. You guys made me feel like there was hope
again and to keep fighting for what I wanted. What you do is more to me than
just your job and I will be forever grateful for all you have done for me. I
very much appreciate it and thank you again.”

Parent, Hume Riverina Community Legal Service

“I have been made to feel very comfortable and very welcome. I’ve been given
great advice and help and if not for HRCLS, I wouldn’t be in the great situation
I am in now.”

Current Client of Hume Riverina Community Legal Service

“The best thing about being a carer is knowing you can make a difference in a
young person’s life. At the moment we are providing a loving, stable and fun
home for a young girl, and that is very rewarding.”

Natalie and Louise, Foster Carers with UMFC for 6 years

“A wonderful service – thank you all. It made things so much easier and possible
and gave me the time to gain my confidence to take the next step forward.”

A Foster Carer

“It’s excellent… wonderful to be able to have this service rather than having to
go straight to court. I am really grateful for the help and it’s like a big sigh
of relief after I’ve seen you each time.”

Parent, Family Relationship Centre
