State Schools' Relief Committee (SSRC) is a charity supporting
Victorian children and young people to reach their full potential
by giving practical assistance at a time when they need it.
We believe that all children deserve the opportunity to
participate in their school's educational and sporting activities
without barriers. Not having adequate school clothing and footwear
is a significant barrier to any child's participation in school
activities.
Since 1930, we have been supporting children and families who
cannot access quality clothing and footwear due to circumstances
like poverty, neglect, family violence and natural disasters by
supplying them with the shoes and clothes they need.
By helping students connect with their school community with
dignity and equality, we are helping them to reach their full
potential.
SSRC has assisted upwards of 8000 students in the past year at a
cost in excess of $500,000.
