Babes and the community

Babes in Business is committed to making a positive contribution to our community through fundraising initiatives.

This foundation was set up to raise money to build the first of many houses providing a dignified and relevant lifestyle for young people with high care needs. Your anticipated support is greatly appreciated.

The foundation was inspired by Shevaune Conry, a young Brisbane woman suffering from the debilitating effects of Multiple Sclerosis.

Currently, as a young person requiring high care attention, Shevaune faced the prospect of having to be placed into an aged care home. At 33 years old, it seemed simply not right.

However, there are very few high care homes in Australia dedicated to people under 45. It was this fact that motivated Shevaune’s husband, David and a group of dedicated friends to launch Youngcare.

The Youngcare Foundation aims to provide the first high care facility to be located in Brisbane, and then to move on to provide others throughout Australia.

Since 2006, the Babes in Business community has raised over $50,000 for Youngcare.
