Helping the CREATE Foundation

Going to a new foster home is a daunting experience for kids in State care. The CREATE Foundation and AMP Capital Shopping Centres (that’s us) are working together to make the transition a little bit easier.

We have supported the CREATE Foundation since 2006. The national not-for-profit organisation plays a vital role in improving the lives of children and young people in foster care, residential or kinship care.

These children have entered care through no fault of their own, due to neglect or abuse. Right now, there are 32,000 children in care across Australia – and the number grows by more than 3,300 children each year.

Children in care are some of Australia’s most disadvantaged citizens, and are more likely to end up with drug and alcohol problems, drop out of school, or end up in trouble with the juvenile justice system.

The CREATE Foundation offers hope to these kids, providing intervention and support programs to give them a better chance.
