Just Care
Birkenhead House
Care, Learn, Protect
Just Care is an aftercare centre operating from Mount Pleasant, an area outside Hermanus. Providing a safe and stimulating environment for approximately 100 children after school who would otherwise have limited options for afternoon supervision and enrichment activities. Just Care offers two meals daily alongside sports, life skills development and homework support.
The Royal Portfolio Foundation has partnered with Lessons in Conservation (LiC) to bring a specialist marine education programme to Just Care. This gives us the opportunity to teach the children about the phenomenal marine ecosystems near Hermanus. Through educational excursions and outdoor experiences, the children learn about the importance of protecting our oceans and marine life, turning conservation education into a fun, hands-on experience. The marine programme also opens up their world to the possibilities of future careers in conservation, hospitality or tourism.
The Royal Portfolio Foundation also supports the aftercare centre throughout the year by contributing to ad-hoc needs such as additional educational outings or other essential resources to deepen the children’s connection to the natural world around them.
