About this cause
Every year more than 60,000 children are in emergency accommodation. These children often need to leave their homes with such urgency that they arrive with nothing more than what they are wearing. 


The Buddy Bags program helps these children by providing them with a backpack of basic essential items on arrival.

They're simple, everyday items most of us take for granted: toothbrush, hairbrush, a pillowcase, facewasher, pyjamas, socks, underwear, as well as a book, activity kit, photo frame and teddy bear. 

In addition to providing material aid, Buddy Bags helps restore a sense of safety and security into these children's lives during this very scary and unstable time - which is one of the vital first steps to recovery. 

The Foundation has distributed more than 70,000 Buddy Bags to children in emergency accommodation, but with thousands more children in care each year, we still need your help.
