Welcome!

Little Doers is a not-for-profit association which believes that children of a young age can feel a great sense of empowerment and accomplishment from learning about causes, choosing a charity and putting in effort to support it. We are not competative, and we encourage all our Little Doers to simply do their best. Learning to give is a lifelong journey. We believe it's not only how you change the world but how you treat the people around you. 

 

What?

26th October 2014 will see the Melbourne Kids’ Fun Run take place in Malvern, offering your children the chance to run a 500m/1km/2km track (with an adult), get some sponsorship from family and friends, choose a charity to support and learn about the charity, do crafty charity activities and Meet the Charities in The Giving Tent. What could be better?

 

Who?

Children aged 0 – 10 are invited to take part. Children who are too young to walk can be pushed in a pram or trike but we do encourage children who are 3+ to try the run and feel pride at the end!  This year we have introduced a new 500 metre mini-run. 

 

When? 

The run will take place on 26th October from 9am-12noon.

Check in on the day starts at 9am to receive a t-shirt with warm-up activities taking place to keep kids busy and the run itself will commence at 10am. From 10.30 The Giving Tent will open itself to craft activities and opportunities to meet the charity representatives. 11am will see the Live Music begin as families find a space to picnic. At 12 noon, exhausted, we will all go home. 

 

Where?

Malvern Gardens is located on the corner of Spring St, Malvern, between High st and Malvern Rd.  It is near Glenferrie Rd.  There is free parking available on all four sides of the park.  Please see the map below

Which Charity?

Parent-friendly descriptions can be found below but for kids under 10 years old here is some information for you.
 
Australian Conservation Foundation stands for ecological sustainability – that means making sure our world still exists in a healthy way in the future. By campaigning on climate change, and ocean, river and forest protection, ACF promotes the importance of our natural environment in helping all animals to survive and in achieving human wellbeing. Donations and volunteers help them do their important work.
 
Filling the Gap recruits volunteer dentists to provide emergency and comprehensive dental care to work in partnership with Aboriginal controlled health services where dental treatment is limited or non-existent.
 
The Pyjama Foundation train volunteer “pyjama angels” who visit children in foster care each week to read aloud. This gives children who statistically have the poorest educational outcomes, important literacy and numeracy skills they would otherwise often miss out on.
 
FareShare provides free, tasty, nutritious meals to Victoria’s hungry people who cannot afford to buy them, using donated food that is unused from supermarkets, farmers and markets. Fareshare appreciate donations and volunteers to help them do their important work.
