A Colourful Collaboration: TGM Celebrates NAIDOC Week

On Thursday 10 July, the Giving Movement (TGM) team celebrated NAIDOC Week at the Auburn Children’s and Family Centre, marking the occasion not only to celebrate NAIDOC week, but also reflect on our first year of partnership together.

To do this, TGM provided art supplies and joined forces with Aunty Viv and the children to create a collaborative piece of artwork that was inspired by the 2025 NAIDOC Week theme: “The Next Generation: Strength, Vision and Legacy.” The artwork reflected not only the creativity of the children but also the power of community, collaboration, and culture.

This year marks 50 years of celebrating NAIDOC Week, honoring Indigenous voices, culture, and resilience. The involvement of TGM showed how corporate partnerships can meaningfully connect with community and help amplify the spirit of NAIDOC through creativity and collaboration.

If you would like to learn more about how your organisation can partner with us, please get in touch via partnerships@barnardos.org.au.

WHAT WE SEE

We see beyond the sleepover in cars and understand the underlying issues.

After escaping family violence, a parent and their child have nowhere safe to stay and are
currently waiting for refuge accommodation.
