Help a foster child this Christmas

Can you foster a future?

BCYF believes every child in the Geelong community has a right to a stable and loving home.

In Victoria alone there are more than 10,000 children and young people who are unable to live with their birth parents.

We know that approximately 70% of requests to BCYF for a child or young person to be placed with a foster family, cannot be met due to the insufficient number of foster carers in Geelong and the Barwon region.

By making a generous donation today, you will help provide safe, more stable and longer term foster care homes for children and young people in Geelong and the Barwon region.

Your donation will help us to recruit, train and retain foster carers and will play an important part in providing our foster children with stable and loving homes and the opportunity to be involved in recreational activities in Geelong.

We look forward to your support of our first Christmas Appeal 'Foster a Future.'

Fundraising for
Meli (Formerly BCYF and Bethany)
Meli is built on more than 150 years of combined local experience and heritage from Bethany and Barwon Child, Youth and Family (BCYF). We started a new chapter on 1 April 2023 by forming one strong organisation with the purpose of supporting people and strengthening communities. We bring deep expertise spanning generations, giving us the perspective and foresight to know that a preventative focus will have the greatest impact on our community as a whole. From a women’s refuge to a babies’ home and mothercraft nurses’ training centre, to a leading kindergarten and community services provider, Bethany has always been there for those in need. From a children’s orphanage to a leading child, youth and family services provider, BCYF has a history of adapting and changing, always with the community at its heart. Combined, we are even better placed to continue to serve our local community.
