The Benevolent Society

The Benevolent Society is a non-religious and not-for-profit organisation with nearly 200 years experience of working to bring about positive social change.

The Benevolent Society’s Fostering Young Lives Program supports children and young people in Sydney who cannot live at home with their birth families.

Our Fostering Young Lives program gives children and young people in care the support they need to achieve their full potential. We want them to actively participate in life and feel optimistic about the future.

At The Benevolent Society, our foster carers are valued and respected members of our care team. We offer ongoing and coordinated support services to best meet the needs of children and their carers.
