CanDo4Kids is also about ensuring that Townsend House can continue its 130-year plus tradition of serving the kids of South Australia who have a sensory impairment.

We provide a range of community services to South Australian children and young people who have sensory impairments. Although CanDo4Kids is a relatively recent notion, Townsend House started out many years ago with a little foresight and a lot of passion.

A legacy for all South Australians to be proud of...

When I reflect on our organisation I am humbled by the life changing impact our work has had on children, families and the community stretching back to the 1800's.

Townsend House was founded in 1874 by William Townsend MP, who, after two terms in office as Mayor of Adelaide set about fulfilling his ambition to establish a “Blind Asylum in the City of Adelaide”.
