We have provided over 417 days and 130 nights of respite to WA families, in FY 20 – 21 alone.
Cahoots Family Sponsorship Fund
The Cahoots Family Sponsorship Fund (FSF) provides financial support to families who may be experiencing financial hardship, which potentially impacts on their ability to access essential services such as Cahoots.
Caring for a young person with a disability or facing an exceptional challenge can place great strain on a family, relationships, and self-care. Research has shown poorer physical and mental health for parents of children with a disability, particularly mothers. Therefore, it is not uncommon for divorce rates to be higher, with families’ resources stretched thin and limited time to access additional resources.
Creating respite opportunities for families and carers, whilst giving a young person the chance to experience more joy, can make a significant difference!
More than 360 scholarships awarded since inception, to young people who would otherwise not have had the chance to attend a life enhancing experience
Up to $200,000 of scholarships annually, with demand for more opportunities mounting following the detrimental impacts an isolation of COVID
Cahoots is committed to helping vulnerable communities and their families and as a NDIS registered service provider we provide support to families when seeking funding. However, some families do not have access to NDIS funding and those families are often at risk of falling through the cracks. In previous years the Family Sponsorship Fund has been funded by government support, and is now solely funded by the generous support of the public and community fundraisers.
Your support can make a difference!
With your support, together we can ensure vulnerable young people and their families have opportunities to feel connected through safe and inclusive experiences.
