Ardoch is a charity providing education support for children and young people experiencing disadvantage. Ardoch has provided education support to children and young people in disadvantaged communities for over 28 years. The work of Ardoch began with founder Kathy Hilton’s desire to see a 17-year-old girl experiencing homelessness stay at school and complete her education. Since then, Ardoch has helped thousands of children and young people to stay at school, receive a helping hand with their education and have access to more choices and opportunities in life. Ardoch continues to work in schools and early childhood services across Victoria, Queensland and Western Australia to address barriers to education, develop the basic foundations of learning and broaden horizons for children and young people.
