From our founder Hannah, a personal message to our Canberra community. 🧡

This winter, more Canberra families need our help than ever before. And today only, every dollar you donate to Roundabout Canberra is being matched dollar for dollar, up to $50,000, thanks to the incredible generosity of matching partners, including Mallesons, Gallagher, and Capital Chemist.

We are in the middle of our biggest fundraising challenge yet. $200,000 by June 30. It's an enormous goal but with your support, and with every donation doubled today, we know our community can get us there.

It's been a huge year so far and we're not even half way through. So far in 2026 we've gifted 9095 items to 2442 children. That's a lot of prams cleaned, clothing folded and toiletry packs put together.

Sometimes when we see all these huge numbers on social media, it looks like a humble brag about how many boxes we're sending out the door. It's important to remember that every one of these numbers is a child. Someone's daughter or son, grandchild, niece or nephew. These numbers mean that children are receiving the essential items they need to feel safe, warm and included and that's what matters most.

Don't forget we're closed today for the Public Holiday.

This is our friendly reminder to not drop items outside our doors while we're closed. A combination of the weather, curious critters and even more curious passers by means these items often end up in landfill and takes a team of volunteers to clean up.

What an incredible day at the Great LEGO Sale on 9 May!

A huge thank you to the more than 3,300 people who attended this year’s event - our biggest turnout in four years. Seeing so many families, collectors, LEGO lovers and community supporters come together made the day truly special.

We are so grateful to the organisations and people who help make this event possible:
Thoroughbred Park for hosting us and for their amazing team who helped create such a fantastic event atmosphere
- Goodies Junction for collecting LEGO donations all year round at Mugga Lane and Mitchell
- Canberra Lego User Group - CLUG for their endless advice, support and enthusiasm on the day
- and National Mailing and Marketing for supporting us with storage

Most importantly, thank you to our incredible volunteers. This event simply would not happen without you. Our volunteers spend countless hours across the year cleaning, sorting, preparing and pricing LEGO donations, before giving up their weekends to help create a fun community event. They also lift literal tonnes of LEGO during setup and pack down...no small task!

We love creating this event for our community and seeing the excitement, joy and connection it brings each year.

Do you have LEGO sitting at home collecting dust or packed away in storage? We are always looking for donations of LEGO branded items and they can be dropped to Goodies Junction throughout the year. Your donated LEGO can be transformed into a gift of essential items for local families facing hardship.

Roundabout Canberra is currently recruiting for two volunteer Board Director roles, including a Treasurer position.

As demand for our service continues to grow, we’re looking for people who care deeply about community and want to help shape the future of Roundabout Canberra as we support children and families across Canberra and the surrounding region.

Alongside the Treasurer role, we are particularly interested in hearing from people with skills and experience in marketing, PR and/or communications, although we welcome applications from people with a broad range of backgrounds and experience.

Our Board plays an important role in supporting the long-term sustainability and direction of Roundabout Canberra, helping ensure we can continue providing practical support to families through a model grounded in dignity, community and care.
A big thank you to HorizonOne Recruitment, who are managing the recruitment process for us.

Thank you to the amazing team from who came in recently for a fun afternoon of corporate volunteering.

It was very impressive to see the whole Canberra team throw themselves into sorting and cleaning with such enthusiasm.

When the team decided to stay past the end of their session to finish what they had started we knew that the passion we feel to help Canberra children in need is truly infectious.

The need this year has exceeded everything we projected.

What's happening around the world is landing right here in Canberra. Living costs were already among the highest in the country, and for many families in crisis, the private rental market was already stretching them way beyond their means. Now, with further increases in essentials like rent, petrol and groceries, families who were just managing are being pushed over the edge, and there is very little room to absorb any of it. The support many of us take for granted simply doesn't exist for everyone.

This is not a short-term problem. Year on year, the need in our community keeps growing, and everything we're seeing tells us that's not about to change.

Roundabout Canberra exists to help fill that gap. Working with over 140 local services, we make sure families have what they need, that it arrives with the dignity they deserve, so Canberra children thrive, not just survive.

But we can only do that with our community behind us.

$200,000 by June 30 is our biggest goal yet. If you're in a position to give, now is the time: https://itl.ink/roundabout3
