Thank you for supporting Meli’s Foster a Future Appeal. This page is our Marketing Toolkit for the Appeal. Here you will find ready-made marketing assets to use on your website, social media channels and other ways that you may wish to communicate your support of the Appeal.

We are hoping that through broader communications, we can raise funds to support our Foster Care families, in addition to possibly encourage more households to consider becoming a foster carer with Meli.

All you have to do is click on any of the resources below that you’d like to download and customise for your own use…too easy!

If you have any questions or require assistance, please reach out to us hellomeli@meli.org.au.

Key Messaging

Meli’s Foster a Future Appeal runs from 1-30 September, highlighting the critical role that foster carers play in our community, and how there is currently a shortage of foster carers in our region.
The Appeal asks our community to help us to support our Foster Care program so we can recruit, train and retain carers, as well as fund extra activities for children and young people in care.

Background on Foster Care in our region

Meli currently receives six referrals per day, on average, to place those in need with a Foster Carer – that is, six children every day, in the Geelong region without a safe place to call home.
With more than 9,000 children currently in out of home care across Victoria, we need your help.
Unfortunately, the demand for care exceeds the availability of carers which means every night there are children in our local community who do not have a place to call home.
Meli urgently needs more carers in this region. Singles, couples and families can all become Foster Carers, with training and 24-hour support provided.

There is an urgent need for Foster Carers in our local community. Even a small contribution can make a difference — your support could enable a foster carer at Meli to organise an outing and experiences for children and teens in care.
