We Empower Children to
Live Without Limits.
When children in Northern Territory are sick, experiencing disadvantage or living with a disability are left with nowhere else to turn, we provide the critical help and hope they thought was out of reach.

Donate Your Hair

Make a real difference for kids who have lost their hair. By donating your locks, you’re giving more than hair. You’re giving confidence. Every donation helps transform a child’s day-to-day life and makes them feel like themselves again.

Workplace Giving

Workplace giving allows employees to make small, regular donations directly from their pre-tax pay.

It’s easy, flexible and completely voluntary.
