Southern Family Benefit Fund

Strengthening Families in the Southern Suburbs
of Adelaide and the Fleurieu Peninsula
 
Southern Junction Community Services is an independent not-for-profit, community organisation with a proud heritage of dynamically responding to the needs of marginalised young people and disadvantaged families in Adelaide’s southern suburbs and the Fleurieu Peninsula that spans over 25 years.
 
People often come to Southern Junction at a point of crisis because they know that we understand how complex and challenging life can be.
 
Our approach is to identify and build upon the strengths of individuals so that they can make positive choices for their future and regain control of their lives.
 
We already provide a wide range of services to disadvantaged families but we need to do more. Can you help?
 

 
The Southern Family Benefit Fund has been established to extend the support that Southern Junction Community Services can offer to families that are battling in the face of:
 
  • Low Household Income
  • Relationship Breakdown
  • Violence, abuse and trauma
  • Children with special needs
  • Physical and mental illness
 
Your support will help families in the Southern suburbs of Adelaide to stay together, to raise healthy children and to participate more effectively in the community.
