Imagine the difference YOU can make in the lives of vulnerable children and families in your community.

By donating your gently used items like clothes, toys, cots, prams, car seats, and toiletries, you provide essential support to those in need. Your contributions help children from newborn to age 16 who are facing hardship, who are facing challenges including domestic violence, seeking asylum, homelessness, financial insecurity, poverty, and more.

Over the past ten years, generous donations from people just like you have helped over 23,000 babies and children and supported over 14,000 families. In the 2023 financial year alone, your kindness enabled the distribution of over 124,000 essential items.

Your support also makes a significant environmental impact. By recycling and reusing donated items, you help divert over 110.5 tons of materials from landfills each year, promoting a healthier planet and a sustainable future.

There’s still so much more we can achieve together. Here’s how you can get involved:
