Thinking about donating to SLH?
Your donation will help transform the lives of the at-risk young people in our care. Thank you for your help and support. Every dollar counts.
We rely on donations to cover 50% of the costs associated with our accommodation, support, and living skills programs. Without your generosity we wouldn’t be able to provide such a high level of support to vulnerable young people in need.
Every day, we see the benefits of our unique medium-term approach in helping young people build the necessary skills to stay off welfare for life. However, as government funding is based on turnover, we are underfunded compared to other short-term crisis services.
A four-bedroom short-term crisis refuge is granted over half a million dollars more than St Laurence House each year.
Additionally, our extended programs – the semi-supported units for two young people and the STAY intensive living skills program – are entirely funded by donations.
Donations over $2.00 are tax deductible.
How your donation
is used?
Donations made to St Laurence House are used to cover the costs of providing 7 days support to the young people in our care.

- $10 provides toiletries and essentials for one child for a week
- $50 provides utilities and upkeep in the home for one child a week
- $100 buys groceries and home cooked meals for two children a week

- $1,000 provides funds for the STAY intensive living skills program for five youth a week.
” I don’t have to worry about where I will be living anymore, I’m living carefree safe & stable.”
