Help us achieve our Vision of all
children having a good childhood
1. Become a regular giver
Making a commitment to bring about change for
vulnerable children is easy. Simply nominate an
amount that you feel comfortable to be deducted
from your account or credit card. We will stay in
contact to let you know how your donation is
making a difference.
You can decide to raise money yourself for
Berry Street.
Organise your own fundraiser, or get together
with your friends and family, local community group,
school or workplace. The options are endless - from
organising a golf day, trivia night, high tea, or even
asking for donations in lieu of birthday, wedding or
anniversary presents. If you are sports minded, why
not raise funds for Berry Street in the many running,
cycling and marathon events that are held - the only
limit is your imagination!

5. Become a Foster CARER
When children can’t live safely at home or with
relatives, foster care is usually the preferred option.
There is a nationwide shortage of foster carers.
Foster carers can be single, married and any age.
We would welcome your enquiry on 1800 U FOSTER
(1800 836 7837) to find out how you can be involved
in this rewarding and worthwhile role. Each child who
enters foster care is different and unique. For this
reason, we are constantly seeking foster carers
who come from diverse backgrounds, cultures
and a range of different experiences.
