Big Group Hug
We are a volunteer-driven not-for-profit organisation based in the northern suburbs of Melbourne.
We are all individuals with a strong belief in ensuring that all children deserve the best start in life, and that communities have the ability and a desire to give less fortunate families a big group hug and some practical support in their time of need.
We pride ourselves on being independent and resourceful with a unique ability to coordinate and mobilise a community response to the immediate and specific material assistance requests of vulnerable children and disadvantaged families that cannot be fulfilled by existing social service providers.
We work with local communities to respond to the immediate material needs of vulnerable and disadvantaged children and their families.
We utilise social media and our volunteer network to mobilise people just like yourself, to put out a call to donate urgently needed items such as nappies, clothing, blankets, prams and cots etc.
These donated items are then checked, sorted and distributed directly to families through Maternal and Child Health Workers and other community welfare agencies.
