The Impact of Your Support
Participating in Kind Hearted Week helps provide essential support to children suffering from mental health issues, neurodiversity challenges and trauma, as well as providing facilities for children and women escaping domestic/family violence and homelessness.
Our Sunny Kids programme aims to provide mental health support for children facing emotional dysregulation at school. Sunny Kids will also be available to those who do not meet NDIS criteria but still require additional support.
Our Kookoorniny initiative will see communities of tiny eco-homes built offering transitional housing to women & their children escaping domestic/family violence and homelessness. These will be safe-havens where lives can be rebuilt without fear.
How Your Organisation Can Get Involved
We encourage you to participate in Kind Hearted Week by engaging students and/or staff in various activities designed to support children and women facing hardship.
- Superhero Dress-Up Day: Encourage students and/or staff to dress up as a superhero of their choice—whether a character they've created, an everyday hero like caregivers, sportspersons, emergency services personnel, or simply by wearing a purple t-shirt. Students/staff can participate by bringing a gold coin donation, with proceeds directly supporting Kind Hearted Australia's initiatives.
- Colouring Kind Hearted Butterflies: Participants can colour our 'Kind Hearted' butterfly design, available for free download on our website. These beautiful artworks will be displayed at our annual Metamorphosis Gala in May.
- Fundraising Events: Market the day and get your community onboard to raise extra funds for your school or business by hosting a bake sale, dance, or lap-a-thon.
Prizes and Recognition
Schools and organisations that participate will be featured on our website and social media, celebrating their commitment to kindness and community responsibility. Additionally, all organisations will receive a certificate of appreciation and participation for their efforts.
