Hillary Family Fundraising for The Shepherd Centre
Story
The Shepherd Centre supports families of deaf and hearing impaired children through their world leading early intervention program by providing assistance to develop their child’s spoken language, so they can reach their full potential and be a fully contributing member of the community.
Today, The Shepherd Centre helps over 350 children and families each year in five centres in NSW and ACT, as well as families in rural and remote areas of Australia and overseas through their residential workshop program and teleintervention program (assistance via videoconferencing).
Why we need your help:
- Outcomes show that 90% of children who graduate from The Shepherd Centre enter mainstream schooling, the vast majority with speech and language skills on par with their typically hearing classmates.
- 70% of required funding comes from the generosity of the community via fundraising and donations, which enables The Shepherd Centre to continue to provide its life-changing programs and support to children and their families.
- It costs approximately $16,000 a year to provide each child who with the essential therapy they need to learn to listen and speak, the vast majority of which The Shepherd Centre must cover through fundraising.

The Shepherd Centre (NSW & ACT)
The Shepherd Centre helps children who are deaf or hearing impaired to learn how to listen and speak. Founded in 1970, with just five families, The Shepherd Centre now helps over 220 families in our five centres across NSW and the ACT. The organisation is recognised as a leader in the field of Auditory-Verbal Therapy, providing assistance to parents of children who are deaf and hearing impaired to develop spoken language, so that they can reach their full potential and be a fully contributing member of the community. The Shepherd Centre has assisted over 1,500 children and their families over the last 40 years. Ninety per cent of children graduate from The Shepherd Centre and enter mainstream schooling and the vast majority have age-appropriate speech and language. Support from the individuals and businesses in the community provides almost 75% of the much needed funds to provide these life-changing programs.
