Sir David Martin Foundation - Helping young people in crisis

The Sir David Martin Foundation is a non-profit organisation created in 1990 by the late Governor of NSW, Sir David Martin, who had a dream of "safety, hope and opportunity for all young Australians". The Foundation is run by a team of passionate staff and volunteers who raise money to fund programs that work to better the lives of youth in crisis. 

The Sir David Martin Foundation supports three major programs that are run by Mission Australia:

Triple Care Farm

...located in Robertson, provides rehabilitation for young people with complex needs including drug and alcohol problems, mental health issues and homelessness.

Creative Youth Initiatives

...located in Surry Hills, is an innovative program that encourages marginalised young people to resolve issues through art and music.

South West Youth Services

...located in Campbelltown, employs a counsellor to assist young people dealing with a range of issues to feel empowered towards independence.

Beyond supporting these programs the Foundation helps with the continued education of youth through the Sir David Martin Foundation scholarship program.
