We are a grassroots organisation with 300+ volunteers committed to helping our community’s most vulnerable children and families.
No one knows our community better than its residents, like YOU! Please join us in making change for your neighbours.
According to the ACOSS 2020 Poverty and Inequality report1 774,000, under the age of 15 live below the poverty line in Australia.
The main reason families request our support is financial hardship, followed by domestic violence.
We are helping the environment by recycling and repurposing pre-loved items on a daily basis to gift to families in need (with some items that must be given new).
“I am a soon to be single mum due in literally weeks. I was terrified and trying to figure out how I was going to afford what I had left to buy for my baby’s arrival. With no family help or support I was getting worried and felt like I wasn’t able to figure this out on my own. Today, I received the most amazing delivery from you and I just want to say, God bless all of you and thank you sooo much!!”

From supporting specific campaigns such as our Pj’s, Jocks, Singlets and Socks, and Coats for Kids, to donating cots on behalf of their clients instead of giving Christmas hampers, Money3 has been a constant cheerleader of Big Group Hug. The Money3 team went above and beyond when it came to hosting our Giving Day 2021, where they not only came on board as a Match Donor, but also provided the venue for the Giving Day HQ and their own staff members even helped man the donation hotline! Money3’s ongoing support and encouragement is incredible and truly appreciated by the Big Group Hug team.
