Resilience & Wellbeing Supports

IDP coordinates the development and delivery of targeted supports to communities, families, children and young people in collaboration with our funders and IFAN partners. In many cases these are piloted or offered through IDP because they are not available through mainstream providers.

IDP has co-developed and piloted resilience, health and well-being programmes resourced through various complimentary funding streams. These include:

  • S-Team – supporting siblings of children with special needs
  • Air Fryer – healthy eating on a budget for those most isolated
  • Teen Nutrition – mood and food
  • Preserving and not wasting food (Waste and Preservation)
  • Fit4FarmLife 
  • TransFarmation 
  • Community Lunch – supporting connecting communities
