Future Living is proud to continue its long-standing partnership with the Stan Perron Charitable Foundation, following the award of grant funding for a new five-year initiative supporting families of children with disability across Western Australia.

Since 2004, the Foundation's support has played a significant role in helping Future Living deliver specialised, sustainable services for people with disability and their families. This enduring partnership has enabled the organisation to respond to emerging community needs and strengthen long-term outcomes for Western Australian families.

The new initiative will provide early-stage education, planning tools, digital resources, and personalised support to families navigating their child's disability journey. With growing demand for services across WA, the project aims to address key concerns around safety, future planning, and long-term wellbeing by equipping families with the knowledge and confidence to make informed decisions.

Over the next five years, Future Living will deliver school presentations, regional outreach, community workshops, practical planning resources, and enhanced online education tools. A key component of the project will be the redevelopment of Future Living's website and digital planning resources to improve accessibility and support families throughout metropolitan and regional Western Australia.

"Our long-standing partnership with the Stan Perron Charitable Foundation has had a lasting impact on our ability to support families across Western Australia," said Erin Taylor, CEO of Future Living. "We are incredibly grateful for their continued trust and generosity. This funding will allow us to provide families with practical guidance, resources, and support early in their journey, helping them plan for the future with greater confidence and peace of mind."

The project will be independently evaluated by the University of Notre Dame to help measure outcomes and guide continuous improvement over the five-year period.

Future Living sincerely thanks Ms Elizabeth Perron and the Stan Perron Charitable Foundation for their ongoing support, partnership, and commitment to helping families build safer, more secure futures for children with disability across Western Australia.
