More Than Support. Someone in Your Corner.
The Big Care connects young people and young adults with relatable mentors, active programs and practical support. Build confidence, get involved, learn new skills and move toward greater independence—with the right person beside you.
Mentorship Built Around Real Life
The right support should feel natural—not clinical. We match young people with relatable mentors who listen, show up and build support around their goals, interests and personality.
Whether it’s training at the gym, shooting hoops, joining a sports session, heading into the community, learning to cook or working toward study and employment, support is built around what matters to each person. Families and coordinators can expect safe, reliable support with clear goals and genuine relationships.

Sport, fitness and active routines
