It takes a village to raise a child

Every child deserves a village.

Together we create a safe, loving and supportive community where every child can grow, learn and thrive – and we've done it since 1918.

108 years of love & healing

Celebrating 108 years this November

It's never been about buildings. It's about the children, the staff and you.

The children. Every brave child who has walked through our village, overcome trauma and rewritten their future.

The staff. Child care workers, therapists and social workers who give their hearts 24/7 to create a sanctuary of healing.

Our donors. A community who shared meals, time, funding and love when it mattered most. Here's to the next chapter.

On the line for 2027

Peg one of these and it goes straight to a child at Epworth. Call or WhatsApp us to see what's still needed.
