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 continues 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.
From 2021 – 2025, Resolution Capital and the Foundation partnered with Mirabel to support of the “Big Day Out” events for children and families as well as peer support groups for grandparents and kinship carers and social inclusion experiences for small groups of children and young people with similar interests and passions.
