Give Local Kids a Brighter Future

We supported 1,011 children and youth, and their families, in Waterloo Region, Guelph, and Wellington County this past year alone.

With over 100 young people on our waitlist, there has never been a more urgent time to donate. Every young victim and witness of abuse and crime deserves our support.

What is it like for the children we support? Laura Cook sheds some light in this video.

“The support of Child Witness Centre for me was… lifesaving.” - Past client
