About the organisation
Sir David Martin Foundation is a charity dedicated to helping young people in crisis. They are proudly a part of the Mission Australia (MA) group and fund Mission Australia programs to support young people suffering from problems such as substance addiction, homelessness, mental illness, disengagement from society, abuse, unemployment and family breakdown. These programs, in particular the award-winning residential rehabilitation facility, Triple Care Farm, provide treatment and support for these issues, as well as assist young people in returning to education and training to find pathways to employment and a healthy, productive life.
