Being there for kids in care.

There are over 60,000 kids in care every statistic is a child who needs kindness. Your donation or sponsorship helps in remarkable ways:

Provide Comfort Bags: These are given to kids entering foster care, offering them a sense of security and belonging.

Deliver Birthday and Christmas Gifts: Ensuring that children who might otherwise receive nothing feel celebrated and loved during special occasions.

Together, we can give these children the love, security, and happiness they deserve.
Join us in making a difference—because every child deserves a Big Hug.
In NSW, the statistics paint a sobering picture:
Thousands of children are currently in out-of-home care.
Many more experience homelessness, poverty, or the effects of family violence.
Access to mental health support remains a significant barrier for many vulnerable children.
The Big Hug Foundation is working to change these statistics, one child at a time.

Black tiles with white letters spell out 'MENTAL HEALTH MATTERS' on a textured gray stone surface.

A group of women wearing casual clothing are engaging with children in a colorful room. The walls are painted with bright circles and letters. Some of the women are seated, serving food or interacting with the children, while one stands using a phone. The children are sitting or kneeling on the floor, holding bowls and cups.

A wooden-framed board with horizontal grooves holds red letters spelling out 'SELFCARE IS THE BEST CARE' against a light pink background. The board is placed against a cream-colored wall with a soft pink cloth underneath.

Several adults are gathered around a young girl, placing their hands gently on her shoulders in a supportive gesture. They seem to be outdoors, with trees and a small building visible in the background. The scene conveys a sense of care and community.
