Giving Day 2025

Our first-ever Giving Day was a shining success! ✨

On Thursday 4th of September, Barnardos hosted The Big Giving For Brighter Futures – a campaign to raise money for Australian children to have a brighter future, with every donation matched for 24 hours.

Donations to Barnardos Big Give for Brighter Futures came flying in from 8am on Thursday 4th September, hitting our goal of $75,000 by 2:20pm, exceeding our bonus target of $120,000 by 6pm and then astonishingly smashing our DREAM target of $150,000 just before 8am!

Our final tally came a dazzling $156,551 ✨💚

From all of us here at Barnardos, the biggest thank you goes out to you! You shone bright to give kids in Australia the bright future they deserve!

Last but not least, a special heartfelt thank you goes to our incredible Matched Partners. Without you, this day would not have been a shining success! 🌟

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.
