Our Supporters
This section is dedicated to all the organisations that have provided or pledged funding support to Sutherland Early Support Service. Those who help support the service financially assist us to benefit the local Sutherland Shire community.
"Spend it on the youngest and count the gains. The gains from investing in young children can be quantified and they are large" (James Heckman, Nobel Prize winning economist, Sydney Morning Herald, 6/2/06).
If we have a dollar to invest, where do we place it to get the best return? Early intervention has the highest success rate and therefore the best return for society.

We thank the following organisations for their investment in the young children of Sutherland Shire and hope they will continue to support the work of Sutherland Early Support Service:
