Throwback to last Saturday!

Still smiling after our first ever Padel for Good fundraiser hosted by Friends with Compassion!

Thanks to every player, supporter, and partner who showed up with heart - we raised enough to feed 20 children for TWO months.

Your energy, generosity, and kindness truly made a difference.

Here’s to sport, community, and compassion in action.

Let’s Set Our Little Learners Up for Success!

With the kids back at school for just over a week, some Grade R learners are still finding it difficult to settle because they didn’t start the year with the right tools. We’ve had several parents reach out to ask whether we can assist with essential stationery items.

Starting Grade R is a big milestone, and having the right stationery can make all the difference.

Through our Back-to-School Initiative, Friends with Compassion is helping young learners begin their school journey confident, prepared, and proud.

We Are Collecting Grade R Stationery, Including:
• 50-page Flip File
• Beginner pencil (triangular)
• Carry folder
• Ream of white copy paper
• Jumbo wax crayons (9s)
• Plastic cup
• Plastic apron
• Pritt
• Blank book
• Triangular colour pencils (12)
• Toilet paper

Your Support Truly Matters
We’ve already raised enough to help 20 young learners, but there are many more who need a great start to the school year.

By donating stationery or sponsoring a Grade R starter pack, you’re giving a child the tools they need to learn, create, and grow.

👉 Get Involved Today
✔️ Donate stationery
✔️ Make a cash donation
✔️ Sponsor a starter pack
✔️ Share this post to spread compassion

Together, we can turn kindness into opportunity one little learner at a time.

As we close this year, we do so with hearts full of gratitude. Friends with Compassion has achieved more than we planned for not just in numbers, but in lives touched and hope restored. Together, we’ve reached beyond our goals to bring care, dignity, and support to those who needed it most.

This journey was possible because of every volunteer, partner, and supporter who believed in our mission. Thank you for standing with us and for being the hands and hearts of compassion. As we step into a new year, let’s continue to spread kindness, build stronger communities, and make an even greater impact together.

Right now, we’re running our Back-to-School initiative blessing Grade R students with stationery to start their school journey strong. Want to help? DM us or Click on the link in our bio.

Sneak Peek: Our first big event of 2026 is coming soon — Padel for Good, happening at the end of February! 🎾 Watch this space for more details.
