Empowering Our Community

Lighting the Way Forward in the Redlands

We’re not just changing lives, we’re transforming our community. Join us in making a lasting difference for the youth and families of the Redlands.

Empowering Our Community

Go.Make.A.Difference.

For over 20 years, The Cage Youth Foundation has been at the heart of Redlands, creating a community where every young person and family feels valued, supported, and empowered. The “Cage” stands for Creating A Good Environment, and that’s what we do every single day.

We provide spaces for connection, tools for growth, and support for those facing life’s toughest challenges. Whether it’s through counselling, youth development programs, or simply offering a safe place to be heard, our mission is clear: to inspire hope, ignite potential and build brighter futures.

This is a community effort, and there’s room for everyone in it. Whether you’re looking for support or looking to give it, The Cage is here to walk alongside Redlands youth and families with care, consistency and real pathways forward.

Hope Starts Here

Who We Are

The Cage Youth Foundation is more than a support service it’s a movement rooted in compassion, resilience, and community. Since 2001, we’ve been a safe haven and a guiding hand for youth and families across the Redlands Coast.

Founded by Peter and Linda Grieve, The Cage is built on a simple belief: every young person deserves a good environment to grow. Through counselling, youth programs and real-world pathways, we support wellbeing, confidence and a meaningful way forward.

Learn more about our vision, values and journey on our About Us page.

The Cage Youth Foundation is an integral part of our Engagement and Wellbeing program at Redland Bay State School. They are a supportive organisation for all students and families.

Why The Cage?

Because No One Should Be Overlooked

The Cage Youth Foundation is different. We’re not just a service, we’re part of the fabric of Redlands. Our work is grounded in trust, compassion, and a deep commitment to creating a supportive environment where everyone has the chance to thrive.

For more than 20 years, young people and families across Redlands have come to us for a safe place to reset, skilled guidance and opportunities to grow. We’re here to offer a hand up, not a hand out – support that helps you build momentum and move forward in a way that feels right for you. Everything we do is driven by one simple goal: #GOMAD – Go Make A Difference.
