What difference will you make?
The Breck Foundation is a charity founded by Lorin LaFave after the tragic loss of her 14-year-old son, Breck Bednar, in 2014, through online grooming. Breck was groomed while enjoying his passions of computing and gaming. We want to ensure that no child is harmed through grooming and exploitation while enjoying their time on the internet. Prevention through education is essential.
Your contributions as a Fundraising and Grant Management Volunteer will have a direct and tangible impact on the safety of children and young people online. By helping to secure funding for our programs, you will be helping us continue to tell Breck’s story to schools, charities, businesses and youth organisations across the country.
