350,000 nappIES are NEEDED FOR VULNERABLE LITTLE ONES
Clean Bums for Little Ones is our major collection campaign for this year and we need your help!
With the cost of living crisis hitting families harder than ever before, one in 6 children are now living in poverty. Nappies are an ongoing expense that many families are struggling to afford. We’re calling on communities to help us provide as many nappies as we can to help vulnerable little ones be clean, happy and healthy.
We estimate that around 350,000 nappies are needed right now for families in crisis and welcome any donation, big or small, of nappies – every single nappy means a clean bum for a little one!
How can you help?
DONATE NEW AND LEFTOVER NAPPIES
From 26 April to 24 May, more than 750 locations across Australia will be collecting nappy donations. If you have leftover nappies you no longer need, or can throw a pack in your trolley during your next shop, please drop them off at your nearest collection point and we’ll make sure they go to a family who needs them. Disposable nappies can be new or from open packs. Reusable nappies must be brand new in original packaging.
Don’t have any nappies to donate right now? Help us reach more families in need by making a financial donation.
2. VOLUNTEER WITH US
Can you spare a few hours to help with our campaign? We’re looking for more volunteers to collect nappies from their local drop-off points so we can get them to our community partners. Find out more on our Volunteer page or through our socials!
3. REGISTER YOUR BUSINESS TO COLLECT NAPPIES
We need collection points across Australia, to ensure nappies can be donated locally and passed onto vulnerable families in your community. It’s an easy way to make a direct impact and help a local family in need. Find out more on our Collection Point page or through our socials.
4. HELP RAISE AWARENESS
You can help increase donations by simply calling on others to share their nappies too. Encourage your friends, family, workmates and the parents in your lives to donate any nappies they can spare. To make this easy, we’ve shared messaging and tiles you can download to use on social media.
