Founded in 1890, Cottage by the Sea works with over 1,500 children each year, offering tailored programs that create lasting memories while empowering those from marginalised communities. According to the charity, for every $1 donated, $3.80 social and economic value is created.

The Lyone Foundation proudly funded two camps held in 2014. The camps have made a real difference to the happiness and confidence of the children and their families.

Here’s what one child who participated in a Cottage By The Sea camp had to say:

“This camp was so much fun and we got to do so many new and challenging activities – archery, lazer tag, giant swing, obstacle course, the mud pit and Healesville Sanctuary. Thanks so much to Cottage by the Sea and the Lyone Foundation!”
