International Family Equality Day and Family Pride Day

Yesterday was International Family Equality Day which celebrates the diversity of LGBTQIA+ families around the world. Barnardos Carer Recruitment and Intake team celebrated the day with their partners at Rainbow Families attending their Family Pride Day event in Marrickville Town Hall.

It was wonderful to see so many happy, loving and diverse families including Barnardos foster carers and children. Thank you to Rainbow Families and all the community partners who made the day such a success.

WHAT WE SEE

We see beyond the sleepover in cars and understand the underlying issues.

After escaping family violence, a parent and their child have nowhere safe to stay and are
currently waiting for refuge accommodation.
