Young people helping the next generation
We are fortunate to have many schools and youth groups partner with Big Group Hug. We work closely with schools and groups so that young people can learn about community engagement, while also helping to fill the gap for families in need. Kids helping kids – it’s a lesson in compassion and action.
Here’s some inspiration for events and school-based fundraising:
Collect Goods

Hold a pre-loved collection days. It’s the perfect chance for kids to pass on their toys, books, and clothes.

Participate as a class in our campaigns like Gifts of Love where kids donate new items during November, in time for the festive season.

Hold a colouring or drawing competition with a small entry fee – entries may be included in our recipient clothing packs.
Raise Funds

Hold a lunchtime cake stall or a bake-off that will delight the taste buds and raise money through purchases.

Plan a Giving Day and ask students for a gold coin donation on arrival at school.

Host a year level social event or activity, with a little entry fee that goes to a worthy charity.

Arrange a ride-a-thon or a walk-a-thon and get kids moving for a good cause.

Who doesn’t love a sausage sizzle? Or tempt parents with a coffee van.

We have three words for you: FREE DRESS DAY!
