Our incredible volunteer team put so much love, thought and attention into every pack we gift to children. From matching colours and coordinating outfits to considering different ages, personalities and possible interests, every detail is carefully chosen to add a special touch.

Before each pack heads off to its new little boy or girl, our team works hard to ensure it feels more than just practical—it feels personal, comforting and filled with kindness.

If you are in a position to support us, we are currently in need of:
☀️Baby wash
☀️Nappy cream
☀️3-in-1 children’s wash

Every donation helps us ensure families receive the essential items they need. If you can help, please drop donations to us or shop online & post direct!

Another month, another 241 babies and toddlers supported.

Thanks to the generosity of our community, 241 little ones received essential material aid this month—providing warmth, safety, hygiene, and dignity when it was needed most.

As we enter the final month of the financial year, many people are considering making a tax-deductible donation. If you are looking to give, please consider supporting local families through us.

We are a non-funded organisation, relying entirely on community support to help vulnerable children and families in the area where you live and work. Every dollar stays local and makes a real difference.

As a registered Deductible Gift Recipient (DGR), donations of $2 or more are tax deductible—making it a win-win for you and the families we support.

Your generosity helps ensure that more babies and toddlers have access to the basic essentials they deserve.

Please donate today using the link below, in our bio or on our website.

If there was any doubt that families are facing severe financial strain right now, our online ordering system removes all doubt.

These are the current requests coming through from our referring partners, alongside comments like:
☀️”The children have no winter clothes.”
☀️”Can we please have winter cot bedding?”
☀️”This baby has just been born and the family have nothing.”

These comments are becoming more and more common.

We are asking our community to remember families doing it tough this winter. If you, or anyone you know, have any baby items that are still in near-new condition and no longer needed, please consider donating them to help a local family.

Every donation makes a difference.

Volunteer Spotlight:-

As part of Volunteer Week, we are proud to shine a spotlight on our longest serving volunteer, Kerri.

Kerri has been with Sunshine from the very beginning, walking alongside us every step of the journey for the past 10 years.

When we asked Kerri what motivates her to volunteer and give so much of herself, this was her heartfelt response:

“I have volunteered at Sunshine for 10 years, and I love it. There are the other volunteers, who are fantastic, but being able to help families in need is a wonderful thing to do. It makes my heart sing.”

Thank you, Kerri, and thank you to all of our amazing volunteers who give so generously to support local families with children, needing a helping hand. ☀️
