At Big Group Hug, our work is only possible because of strong partnerships with the professionals who refer families to us, and with values-aligned organisations who help make our support possible.
This International Women’s Day, we are proud to host a special event for health and welfare professionals working every day on the frontline to support families experiencing hardship. As referral partners, they are the integral link between families needing aid and Big Group Hug.
We’re incredibly grateful to GO Salary for sponsoring this event and helping us create space to connect, reflect, and acknowledge the impact of this shared work.
Why International Women’s Day Matters to Big Group Hug
While our referral partners span many roles and backgrounds, the families they support share a common reality. 92% of referrals to Big Group Hug have a woman as the client requesting children’s aid.
Mothers, grandmothers, aunties and carers are often carrying the emotional, practical and financial load for their families while navigating crisis, trauma, or instability. When women are supported with the essentials they need for their children, the impact extends far beyond one individual. It strengthens the whole family.
International Women’s Day is an important moment to recognise that uplifting women experiencing hardship is one of the most effective ways to improve outcomes for children and to acknowledge the systems and partnerships required to make that support possible.
A Values-Aligned Partnership
Our partnership with GO Salary is grounded in shared values. Both organisations are committed to:
- Supporting the not-for-profit sector and the people who keep it running
- Putting dignity and people first, recognising that systems should serve humans, not the other way around
- Strengthening families and communities, understanding that wellbeing, stability and care are deeply interconnected
By sponsoring our International Women’s Day event, GO Salary helps us recognise the collective effort behind every referral, every pack delivered, and every family supported and the role collaboration plays in creating meaningful, lasting change.
