Supporting the future of Learning Support Programs
Homework Club Partnership Fund – 2027 Grant Round
SUPPORTING THE FUTURE OF LEARNING SUPPORT PROGRAMS
The Homework Club Partnership Fund (HCPF) was established in 2015 to support the development and sustainability of Learning Support Programs for disadvantaged children and young people, including those from migrant and refugee backgrounds.
The major objective of the Homework Club Partnership Fund is to help communities, schools and organisations establish or develop Learning Support Programs that can address needs in a community for additional educational support. The focus of the Homework Club Partnership Fund is areas of high need and limited capacity to meet that need with available resources.
ABOUT Homework Club partnership fund
