One child is abused or neglected every 11 minutes in Australia. Since 1988, Act for Kids has provided free therapeutic support for thousands of kids and families but there are still many more who need urgent assistance right now. We need your help. Stand with us as we work tirelessly to prevent and treat child abuse and neglect.
By now, you might be thinking about the long list of Christmas presents you’ve got to buy… Ask yourself, would you, your kids, or your family really notice if there was one less present this Christmas?
One Less Present is the perfect way to embrace the true spirit of giving. Instead of buying another unnecessary gift, you can donate the money you would’ve spent on it to give neglected and abused kids in Australia the Christmas they never had.
