The KidsXpress ‘Village’ is our support network of all groups that help us make change for the better. Each of these stakeholders makes a valuable contribution through their time, their knowledge and skills, or their financial generosity.
As our village grows, we’ll continue to welcome people from across Australia and around the world.

You
CLOSE WINDOWWelcome to our KidsXpress village.
Your contribution will reduce the impact of emotional trauma on a child;
transforming the future for not just a child, but their family and their community.
The Families
