Family News, our quarterly e-newsletter
Disadvantage is a very real problem in Australia today. But for many more privileged Australians it’s hard to understand what it is like to walk in the shoes of disadvantaged Australian children.
Family News, our quarterly e-newsletter, shares firsthand stories from some of the children and families we support. We also aim to provide you with an overview of current Smith Family events, activities, volunteer opportunities and research results.
Subscribe to Family News today to learn how your valued support is making our work possible, and directly helping disadvantaged children get the most from their education.
