StandbyU Foundation exists with one clear mission: to harness and embrace the power of human connections to build a better, safer world for people with stories of vulnerability in our communities.
Every day we work to bring friends and family closer together by fostering these connections.
We back
Families
Our families and friends are available, willing and invested. They are available 24/7, determined to support us and stick around a lot longer than professional services.
We believe in
Communities
Our Connections exist within our social relationships - we believe in place-based approaches; we participate in our community and we mobilise communities as active relationships.
We value
Your Agency
You, are the expert in your own life. Whether you are experiencing challenges within relationships in your own home, or you are a people leader or practitioner. We support you, to develop meaningful responses for peace of mind.
Our Wellness and Identity are foundationally linked to our Relationships. Particularly, those Transformative Relationships that change our lives for the better. Sparking Connections drives everything we do, because Connections Change Lives.
