Officeworks giveaway!

We know that children and young people in care thrive on the routine that education provides. Education is a critical pathway to support children and young people towards positive outcomes such as higher self-esteem, friendships, and opportunities for employment and higher education. It has been a challenging time for carers in relation to finances and managing the changed environment, including schooling at home.

The FCAV has 2 x $100 Officeworks giveaways to help with additional IT equipment and stationery for your home office and for the children and young people doing schooling online.
