Mirabel believes that every child deserves a childhood filled with love, hope and belonging. A highly respected children’s charity operating for more than 25 years, Mirabel has a mission to break the destructive cycle of drug addiction. This is achieved through the delivery of proven programs for children who have been orphaned or abandoned due to their parents’ illicit drug use, supported by crisis intervention and parenting assistance for the kinship carers who largely take on the responsibility of raising them.

With the help of the Foundation, Firetrail and other funders, Mirabel commenced an Intensive Youth Support Program in the Hunter Valley region in NSW in 2021. Funding in FY25 will continue to support the program’s two key elements; preventative actions aimed at working one on one with families experiencing a crisis regarding a child’s behaviour, and therapeutic group activities which bring children and young teens together in a regular format, to connect with each other based on shared experience.

In 2021 Resolution Capital also initiated a partnership with Mirabel, in support of the wonderful “Big Day Out” events for children and families. In FY25 the Foundation and Resolution Capital are continuing their support for Mirabel through two other initiatives – peer support groups for grandparents and kinship carers, as well as social inclusion experiences for small groups of children and young people with similar interests and passions.
