Free family mediation for Gauteng’s Children’s Courts.
ACR Hub is home to a NABFAM-accredited mediation project working inside Gauteng’s Children’s Courts, and to the Mentorship Programme that trains the mediators who staff it — all delivered free to families, and funded entirely by donors and corporate partners.
One coalition. Three ways it works.
ACR Community NPC administers a court-based mediation service that resolves care, contact and parental-responsibility disputes for families who could not otherwise afford it — turning agreements into enforceable orders of court, inside the Children’s Court itself.
That service runs on two things: a growing bench of NABFAM-accredited volunteer mediators trained through ACR Academy’s Mentorship Programme, and a coalition of partners and corporate funders who make it possible to keep the courts staffed.
Three ways into ACR Hub.

Every court we run costs about R20,000 a month.
That’s what it takes to keep one Children’s Court staffed with free mediation. Corporate partners can fund a court directly through our Fund a Court scheme.
