How it works

Download a poster by clicking on the button above and get your school, workplace or club involved!

Begin by purchasing or gathering brand-new items suitable for a boy or girl aged 3 to 14 years.

Include the following essential items in your backpack:

Clothing: Pop in a packet of new socks and underwear appropriate for the child's age and gender and/or a t-shirt and shorts.
Accessories: Include a cap or a hat to protect the child from the sun.
Sun Safe: Add a tube of sunscreeen
Footwear: Include a pair of brand-new sneakers that might fit the child's size for the backpack you are putting together. This will also help make them ready for back to school.
PJs: Choose age and gender appropriate pyjamas.

PLEASE AVOID ANY CHRISTMAS THEMED ITEMS - THANK YOU

This will make sure the gift is useable all year round.

Attach a tag to the outside of the backpack with the gender and age of the child the backpack is intended for clearly written.

Create a simple tag using paper or cardstock and write the information clearly.
Ensure the tag is securely attached to the backpack, so it doesn't get lost on its way to Tassie Mums.
