The Enriching Lives Foundation was established in the middle of 2022 by Renee Brescianini and Scott Clements. The Foundation has a mandate to give back locally to those experiencing disadvantage. Having just experienced the full process of educating their children across both the public and private school system, they saw a need to raise awareness and provide financial support to the many children who experience disadvantage in their education.
Our Vision: To enrich the lives of those in need to make life better and help access opportunities.
Our Purpose: To increase the engagement of young people with education by assisting to fund their journey and make a lasting impression on their lives.
The Sponsor a Student Program was researched and developed and a pilot program was implemented. The aim of the Program is to identify students at risk of disengage with education on the basis of their families’ financial struggle. The children are identified by the professional staff within each school who can accurately allocate funding to ensure an impact. Funding is provided only through the school and only for educational expenses. The measure of success is different for each student but can include increased attendance, improvement in results whether it be behaviour, effort and/or academic achievement, inclusion, general well being and mental health which can be measured by the case manager who can assess each student’s engagement with the school.
