Since 1988 Beverley and her family have donated countless hours to promoting and supporting families interested in helping their children learn in stress-free, nurturing environments.

For decades Beverley and her family have donated their time and energy to support the creation and management of local and national homeschooling networks, including beginning and producing network newsletters, resource directories and magazines. She has organised and/or attended home education seminars, workshops, parent sessions, camps, expos, and spoken as a keynote speaker at major conferences. For many years she was an active member of national and state home education associations, regional and local home education groups.

Her readiness to 'be there' for families and to donate her time and energy to helping others is much appreciated:

"You've been an inspiration to me, I love the way you really listen to people." Vanessa
"Whenever I read your writing I always come away with increased confidence in my ability to provide and share a wonderful learning journey with my family!" Davina
"Your guidance, understanding, support and words of wisdom changed our lives. We now offer support and organise many homeschooling events for others." Lesley
"Thank you once again for your prompt and friendly service. I am convinced that your books are going to add quality and peace of mind to my journey of teaching my kids at home! Just from studying your website, until almost 2am in the morning, I 've been encouraged!" Louisa
"Thank you for all your many,many reassuring words over many, many years. You probably don't know exactly how valuable you are to the Australian Home Education community. I've been reading your stuff for maybe 8 years or more now. And I'm very grateful." Gythaa

The work done to maintain and support Beverley's online presence is on a completely voluntary basis. Funding is derived solely by royalties of Beverley's books (sold through her daughter's online bookstore Always Learning Books), a small amount from Google Adsense, and - more importantly - by generous, voluntary gift contributions from people like you!

Your gift will help us continue to
encourage and support homeschoolers
and help them become confident with
teaching their children at home!

A gift of any size, small or large, is greatly appreciated. By contributing, even as little as $1, you are helping to inform, encourage, reassure and support parents live closer, happier lives with their children. Once again, thank you. I truly appreciate your generosity.

Thank you once again for your generous gift!
