3. We will call you to arrange collection of your car, and your car gets collected through our Platinum Partner, Manheim, on the date specified by you.

How your donation helps
Kids Under Cover is a registered Not For Profit organisation that works to prevent youth homelessness.Kids Under Cover is the only organisation in Australia offering a unique combination of building homes and providing scholarships and mentors for homeless and at-risk young people.
Since we started in 1989, Kids Under Cover has supported more than 2,800 young people at risk of homelessness with a secure home through our Studio Program. For the young person the Studio provides an opportunity to develop independent living skills and to stay connected with their family. More importantly, it prevents young people from becoming homeless.
Our Scholarship Program helps young people to stay engaged with education. By covering education expenses, young people are empowered to continue their study or job training. This can lead to more positive employment opportunities, ensuring the young person has a productive, functioning place in their community.
Our Mentoring Program offers positive role models who connect with young people and offer guidance, support and encouragement. As confidence, self-esteem and social skills improve, young people are in a better position to make life-changing decisions.
With our programs young people are empowered to build a brighter future for themselves.
