Barnardos Auburn Children’s Family Centre has turned 50!

Our Auburn CFC, formerly known as the Sir Roy McCaughey Centre, has been providing essential welfare services to children and families in the Cumberland area since 1974.
 
It was wonderful to celebrate this milestone with our supporters, local services, clients, and staff members from both past and present. We want to extend a special thank you to our long-term supporters: the Nielsen Foundation; Helen and Michael Gazal; DOOLEYS Lidcombe Catholic Club, represented by Community Manager Jason White; Auburn Tennis & Recreation Club, with Manager Tony Choueifati; Bankstown Sports, represented by Community Partnerships Advisor Michelle Watson Deloso; and the Peter Pan Committee, including Angela Crammond and Margaret Allsopp. Your generosity and dedication have greatly contributed to our service provision over the years.
 
A big thank you as well to our staff for making this event possible. We look forward to continuing our work and serving families and communities for another 50 years!

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.
