More About Kids Hope:

A quiet revolution in care and connection has been underway for 15+ years at The Gap State School, thanks to a partnership with The Gap Uniting Church and the national mentoring program, Kids Hope Australia. One mentor, one child, one hour a week has grown into a powerful force for good, touching the lives of hundreds of students and volunteers alike.

The mentoring relationships are powered by staff, parents, trained volunteers from TGUC, and importantly, enthusiastic children.

Students’ comments:

• “It’s fun playing card games and handball”

• “We talk about work and how life outside school is going”

• “You are kind”

• “Kids Hope can help you to refresh and feel happy again”

• “Personally, my mentor helped me navigate social situations, friend problems, and schoolwork challenges”

• “Without Kids Hope, my school life would have been 10x harder”

Mentors say:

• “I have loved every minute of being a Kids Hope Mentor”

• “I mentor because of God’s gifts to me – a love for children and creative ability. What a huge reward for just one hour a week”

• “Weekly visits from Year 1 to 6 have been a privilege”

• “Kids Hope gives the child the chance to build a trusting relationship with someone who is totally in their corner”

The Gap Uniting Church has partnered with Australia’s most popular Will-writing platform – EveryWill. A free platform where you can create your will and then change and update it as required in the future.

As part of the process, there is an opportunity for you to leave a gift to The Gap Uniting Church but there is no obligation or requirement.

The Gap Uniting Church will never provide legal or financial advice to individuals – please seek any advice needed to make your own decisions.

Create your will online, for free.
