The Stronger Together Foundation Story
Originally established as the Fit Kidz Foundation in 2014, the Foundation was created in response to a growing need for support for children with disability, developmental delays and neurodivergence, and the families navigating those journeys. What began as support for just a few families quickly grew into something much larger, providing access to specialised early intervention programs, speech therapy and occupational therapy, family events and education for the community.
By 2024, the Foundation was supporting more than 160 families each year and had evolved into a thriving community in its own right. Recognising the need for its own identity and future direction, the organisation separated from Fit Kidz Foundation and became the Stronger Together Foundation in April 2024. Today, we operate as a completely independent not for profit organisation with our own governance, leadership, strategy and mission, while continuing our commitment to supporting children with developmental delays, disabilty and neurodivergence and their families in the Hills District of Sydney.
Our name reflects what has always been at the heart of the organisation: the belief that children, families, professionals and communities achieve more when they come together. It represents our commitment to creating inclusive opportunities, fostering meaningful connections and ensuring families feel supported at every stage of their journey.
Today, the Stronger Together Foundation supports more than 300 children and families each year through early screening, individual and group therapy, early supports, group programs, sibling support, parent education, inclusive community events, advocacy initiatives and capacity building for mainstream education.
As demand for services continues to grow, the ongoing support of our community, sponsors, donors and funding partners enables us to reach more families and create greater impact. Together, we are building a future where every child and family feels connected, supported and empowered to thrive.
