Organisations We Support

We currently support two charitable organisations that are doing important work: St Kilda Mum's and the Royal Children's Hospital (Melbourne) Complex Colorectal and Pelvic Reconstruction centre. St Kilda Mums recycle nursery equipment including cots, prams, and car seats, as well as clothes and other baby essentials, and sort, quality check, and safety check them to ensure they meet current Australian Safety Standards. St Kilda Mums receive requests from Maternal Child Health nurses and social workers on behalf of families in need. They then try to meet or exceed each request with quality new or pre-loved donations. They give to people who are facing a variety of challenges and hope they feel uplifted when they receive a donation from us. Giving a gift that is packed with love to provide practical support and to show that someone cares. The Royal Children's Hospital Foundation supports the Complex Colorectal and Pelvic Reconstruction service. When everything is running smoothly, the body is an amazingly efficient machine. It is something that is often taken for granted. Unfortunately, for many children, everyday biological functions like digesting a meal or going to the bathroom are extremely difficult and distressing. In Victoria, over 50 children are born each year with complex colorectal conditions that require highly specialised, and often lifesaving, surgical treatment. As a part of the body that is not openly talked about, patients and their families can also face poor psychological outcomes associated with their conditions, including feelings of embarrassment, isolation and hopelessness.
