The 2020-21 Annual Report reflects on the Foundation’s 30 years of supporting young people in crisis. August 2020 marks 30 years since the death of Rear Admiral Sir David Martin KCMG, AO, RAN, (Rtd), 34th Governor of NSW in August 1990. Sir David was beloved as the “People’s Governor” and touched so many with his humility, service and kindness. His legacy lives on through our Foundation’s support of Triple Care Farm. Since 1990, we have raised over $70 million through the generosity of our supporters who care deeply about young Australians. This support is changing young people’s lives!
