HELP US RAISE FUNDS TO DISTRIBUTE OUR ITEMS TO THOSE IN NEED ALL OVER AUSTRALIA!


During our baby project (March/ April) our volunteers donated over 4,500 handmade items and over 1,400 purchased items.


This is a remarkable effort!

WE NEED YOUR HELP


We are entirely self funded and rely on donations to cover the cost of getting our items to those who need them most.


Our goal is to raise $1 for every handmade item we have sent out during May. Each box we send out ranges from $26-45 in courier fees alone. 

DONATIONS OVER $2 ARE TAX DEDUCTIBLE


Can you sponsor a handmade item (or a box of them!)?


This pic is only one month - this year so far we have sent out 16, 683 handmade items to hospitals, cancer care centres, foster care groups, families with children with special needs, animal refuges, schools and more!

Sewing for Charity Australia


“Where creativity meets community”.


Sewing for Charity Australia is a registered charity whose mission is to make and provide handmade items to those suffering from distress, health crisis or disadvantage and the communities that support them.


In the past two years over 65,000 handmade items have been distributed to over 60 organisations and community hubs around Australia. In this time we have grown from a small group in a suburb of Queensland to having volunteers and donors in every state and territory.


Sewing for Charity Australia work in partnership with established charities as well as grassroots community groups who engage in direct giving. We also donate directly to hospitals, nursing homes, schools and almost anywhere that needs some handmade love!


We are passionate about reducing textile waste and wherever possible engage in sustainable practice by upcycling used textiles and clothing to make handmade items for donation. We also accept private donations of fabrics, wool and notions from businesses and individuals thus avoiding creation of landfill.


Our central focus is and will always be community. Through sewing groups, in home visits and social media we reach out to isolated people nationwide to assist with removing social and physical barriers to community engagement.


With your help, we can continue to support community members nationwide to connect, learn useful skills and create with purpose.
