Welcome to Friend In Me

At Friend in Me we promote inclusion and acceptance for at risk and disadvantaged children through sensory friendly events, workshops and programs. We bring together children of all ages, nationalities and abilities to dance, play, sing and create. By being apart of the Friend In Me community children make lifelong friends and take home memories they will cherish forever. We would love you to join us our next event.

Friend in Me is a registered Australian charity that promotes inclusion and acceptance in at risk and disadvantaged children through sensory friendly events, workshops and programs.

After learning about how worrying it can be for parents who have a child that struggles to make friends or get invited to parties, our founder, Louise Larkin, decided to host an all inclusive party for families within her neighbourhood and her extended community.

The Friend in Me organisation brings together children of all ages, nationalities and abilities to dance, play, sing, create and most importantly, make lifelong friends and memories they will cherish forever.

Are you ready to have fun and feel included?

I attended the big Friend in Me event held at Seaworks with my 2 year old. We both had such a great time!!!! All the hard work and planning really showed. The superheroes/characters were awesome, there were so many great activities for the kids, and plenty of interactive performances to keep everyone entertained! I can’t wait for the next event! 😍

As a parent, I was over joyed to see what a supportive environment FIM had created. Finally my son was able to feel comfortable enough to interact with the other kids.
