Our Story

Foundation#1 was established in 2017 for the purposes of relieving social exclusion for children experiencing disadvantage with a goal where every child can be the best version of themselves. It was through a similar lived experience that the founder promised if they were fortunate through their own hard work and success they would give back and provide support to enable self-belief as they know how lonely a road that journey can be.

Our core programs are evidenced based and targeted to support children and families who are experiencing systemic disadvantage or living with a disability who face complex challenges.

Our Values

Foundation#1 has been able to make a positive impact on the lives of many children particularly those experiencing disadvantage. Our focus is to support these kids to be the best version of themselves through sport, short term respite and improved mental fitness

“I couldn’t believe the cost of registration. Then add boots, uniform and travel. We just can’t afford it anymore.”

“We spend billions of dollars on late intervention for children, on mental health, child protection, costs that really would be unnecessary if we invested early to support families and children to be able to thrive,”

“My daughter came home from school so excited from spending the morning with you. She said it was the best talk she had ever attended. Thank you.”
