genU - Horsham

About

genU has been 60 years in the making. Bringing together the best of two trusted and respected organisations, Karingal and St Laurence, genU builds on this experience, adding a new ambition: to become the leader in what we do. We want everyone’s lives to be happier and healthier, especially people with disabilities, the ageing and those experiencing disadvantage. genU formed as Karingal in 1952 with a group of Geelong parents who formed a play group for their children, each with a disability. These parents wished to provide the chance for their children to have lives that would be fulfilling and would realise their abilities. Today, genU comprises of a nine member Board, over 2800 staff and over 190 volunteers.
