Since 1931 Stewart House has helped more than 95,000 children in need.
Each fortnight during the school year Stewart House hosts up to 100 needy children from NSW and ACT public schools. Children aged between five and 17 are invited to attend Stewart House because they are deemed to be "in need". Contributing factors for invitation are geographical isolation, abuse or neglect in the home, health issues such as depression, and family crisis.
During their 12-day stay these children are provided with medical, dental and optometry assessment and treatment, as well as emotional support. This is balanced with health and educational programs and out of school activities to boost their self-esteem and to promote better physical and emotional health. These services are provided free of charge to the children who attend Stewart House.
Support for Stewart House helps to raise the $1.6 million needed annually to run Stewart House.
