HELP us get 5o0,000 nappIES to Australian families

Our biggest campaign of the year is here: Clean Bums for Little Ones. It’s nappy-collecting time and we’d love your help!

The cost of living crisis is impacting more families than ever before, and those who have never had to ask for help are now reaching out. Nappies are an ongoing and necessary expense that many families are struggling to afford and we’re calling on communities to pass on their leftover or new disposable nappies so that all little ones can be clean, happy and healthy.

We know that 500,000 nappies are needed right now to support 15,000 families and welcome any donation, big or small, of nappies – every single nappy means a clean bum for a little one!

How to get involved

1. DONATE NEW AND LEFTOVER NAPPIES

From 28 April to 23 May, more than 900 locations across Australia will collect nappy donations. If you have leftover nappies you no longer need or can afford to pop an extra pack in your trolley during your next shop, 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 leftover from already opened 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're looking for more businesses to become collection points for nappy donations. These are locations where the community can drop their nappies off and one of our wonderful local volunteers will come and collect them. Not only is it an easy way to make a direct impact, it's a great way to connect and engage with more people from your community. 

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 (including vertical for videos/stories) that you can download and use on social media.
