Care Force

Details

Care Force was part of the Anglican Home Mission Society. It was formed in early 1979, and was based at the former Charlton Boys’ Home site at Ashfield. It appears to have replaced Church of England Homes, taking over the children’s homes that had been run by the Sydney Diocese of the Church of England. Care Force later became Anglicare Child and Family Services and Anglicare Child Youth and Family Services Department. Records created by, or held by, Church of England Homes and Care Force are held by Anglicare Out-of-Home Care Services.

According to an advertisement published in The Sydney Morning Herald in March 1979, the objectives of Care Force were to:

  • “Provide accommodation and support for homeless children
  • Place babies in need with loving adoptive parents
  • Assist children from the courts to build a new life
  • Help school-age pregnant girls
  • Provide half-way homes for young people leaving institutions
  • Conduct a learning centre for children experiencing difficulties at school
  • Provide support services for families at risk”
  • From

    1979

  • To

    1997
