Birkenhead House Foundation Projects

Lessons in Conservation (LiC) is a partner of The Royal Portfolio Foundation, aimed at educating the youth about the environment, with a specific focus on marine eco-systems in the Western Cape.

We are committed to addressing the plight of homelessness in the Overberg region by volunteering at Hermanus Night Shelter, where we cook and serve meals for vulnerable community members.

Keeping children safe and families strong is very close to our hearts, and Hermanus Child & Family Services (HCFS) is dedicated to creating safe and nurturing spaces for families in need.

This aftercare provides a valuable service to the community, offering a safe and stimulating place where local children can spend their afternoons. We assist by providing additional supplies and necessary resources, as well as supporting educational programmes that promote awareness about nature conservation.

Community engagement through direct action is at the centre of all that we do. The team at Birkenhead House is actively involved in a school feeding scheme at Masibulele ECD, ensuring that children are well fed.

Birkenhead House sits majestically on Hermanus’ stunning coastline. As custodians of this pristine marine sanctuary, we are proud to partner with the Dyer Island Conservation Trust to contribute to vital marine conservation and research efforts.
