twenty10 – a place to be you

Twenty10 is funded by DoCS under the Supported Accommodation and Assistance Program (SAAP). Our SAAP funding allows us to provide case-management support, assistance and medium-term accommodation to young people who are homeless or at risk of homelessness.

You can find more about what SAAP is by visiting their website.

Twenty10 is funded by FAHCSIA as a Reconnect Service. Reconnect is all about providing early intervention support to young people (under 18 years) and families to help prevent homelessness. With Reconnect funding we are able to provide services that help young people and their families create a bit of stability in their lives. We also provide training to regional services in New South Wales in how to best provide services to GLBT young people.

More information on Reconnect programs, including details of your closest Reconnect service, can be found at the FAHCSIA website.

The Aurora Group raises money for gay, lesbian and transgender community projects through events of celebration. Aurora, on behalf of their donors, have been generous supporters of Twenty10 since 2000. The funds they contribute support our group programs and special projects.

City of Sydney have supported many Twenty10 projects over the years. Most recently they have been the major supporters of our Mardi Gras Youth Festival. In the past City of Sydney has also supported our work with young people in regards to safety around the use of alcohol and other drugs.

Local government support for Twenty10 is very important to us, as it is a way to improve the participation of GLBT young people in local communities.

As part of our Virgin Unite partnership, we have built a close relationship with Virgin Mobile. Virgin Mobile have provided us with mobile phones and SIM cards with credit to give to any of our young clients who would have trouble keeping in touch with us. Virgin Mobile also provide us with all our staff mobile phones, which saves us a lot of money that can be spent on program costs. The wonderful staff at Virgin Mobile also help out with hamper collections and other activities throughout the year.
