THE MISSION OF RYDER-CHESHIRE AUSTRALIA

Our founders, Leonard Cheshire and Sue Ryder, established the Ryder-Cheshire Foundation to relieve suffering among people who are sick, disabled, or destitute without discrimination.

Ryder-Cheshire Australia today continues to fulfil that mission by supporting two overseas homes, Raphael in northern India and Klibur Domin in Timor-Leste, as well as two homes within Australia, at Mount Gambier in South Australia, and Ivanhoe in Victoria.

Since the 1960s, Ryder-Cheshire has, through its support for these homes, been giving life-changing help to individuals and families in great need. Some people experiencing chronic disease, and others with physical and intellectual disabilities, have been assisted in achieving lives of dignity and hope.

The administration of Ryder-Cheshire Australia is managed entirely by unpaid volunteers, and 100% of donations benefit those in need.
