Child & Community Wellbeing
Supporting Families who are struggling to make ends meet
Caring for our kids programme
Our Backyard Trust is proud to be supporting children in need with warm clothing packs. This year will take us to over 45,750 kids clothed, and we are well on our way to reaching our target of clothing over 100,000 kids that live below the poverty line. We can’t do it all ourselves, and have been grateful to received support from over 50 businesses and community organisations so far. We encourage all those who are able to help out in any way to get involved and support this great initiative. The Kids Winter Warm Up Packs we donate are the perfect fleece pack for kids during the winter. Each pack comes with a Stoney Creek Kid’s Fleece Beanie, a Bush Tee and a pair of Trackpants. These garments are worn as insulation layers and are perfect for under a rain jacket on cold, wet days.
Help us reach our goal
Together with our partners and contributors we’ve clothed 46,750 kids in need, and we are not stopping there!

Suggest an Initiative
Want to suggest an initiative or a project, or get involved in some way? The more people that are involved, the more effect we will have. Anyone has the ability to put a project forward for consideration. If you want to assist or feel like you have something to offer towards any of the three key areas of Conservation, Child & Community Wellbeing, and Rural Mental Health, whether that be a service or a donation, please enquire through the OBT website.
Make a Donation
Our Backyard Trust was registered in 2018. We now have a group of like-minded people that are empowered to govern, by way of a board, the funds that are donated and then distributed into projects that support the three key areas of Conservation, Child & Community Wellbeing, and Rural Mental Health. The great thing is that you can donate anything from a dollar personally, right through to a large sum if you are a commercial business. The best way to do this is to connect through the OBT website: www.ourbackyardtrust.com. You will also see some of the projects and initiatives that we have achieved.
