Matt Golinski is a highly regarded celebrity Australian chef with a passion for food and helping the community. He has worked at some of Australia’s best restaurants and is well known as being one of the original chefs in the popular ‘Ready Steady Cook’ television series.
Matt tragically lost his wife and three daughters in a house fire in Tewantin in QLD and also sustained 40% burns to his body.
Matt is a truly inspirational and wonderful human being. He is selfless and generous. Matt wanted to be involved with the training in a hope that he could assist with the education of fire safety within the greater community.
The KIDS Foundation is about injuries, helping those injured in horrific circumstances like car accidents, fires, dog attacks, crime and domestic violence, and importantly preventing them from happening through education and empowerment in Australian kindergartens and preschools.
We have a wonderful partnership with Younity which involves supporting indigenous youth and also underprivileged kids with learning difficulties to enable them to go to school to hopefully in grade nine transition to a regular school.
Younity has just built a small school with some land donated from a church. The school has 49 students currently but will grow. Most of these kids have never been to school before or only for brief periods.
