Our charity partner Kids Giving Back is a charity offering programs for children 6-18 years old and their families which provides opportunities to assist vulnerable people in the community through work with charities. Embracing the concept of making a contribution back into community, all sessions are run by skilled facilitators.<\/p>

Their programs enable children and young people to undertake practical and meaningful activities to support the work of charities whilst at the same time assisting them to acquire empathy, experience altruism and achieve a sense of belonging.

Remember \u2013 volunteering can be as simple as a small act of kindness, or the ability to make someone smile. The next time you\u2019re out and about in your community, think of ways to give back. Whether it\u2019s picking up garbage in your local area, helping a neighbour with their yard work, cooking a meal for a new mum, or donating your pristine and pre-loved items \u2013 every act of kindness makes a difference.<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
