By donating to The Smith Family’s Winter Appeal today, you can help change the equation for an Australian child in need, by providing educational support to help them catch up, keep up and fulfill their potential.  

It simply doesn’t add up that here in Australia, poverty can stand in the way of any child’s education and hopes for the future. But right now, 1 in 6 Australian children are living in poverty, and with the growing cost of living pressures, many students are facing barriers that prevent them from achieving all they’re capable of.  

Your support for the Winter Appeal can help provide financial and personal support, as well as access to out-of-school learning and mentoring programs that ensure children living in disadvantage have the opportunity to reach their goals – just like any other Australian child.  

A $25 donation can provide a literacy resource pack, so parents can help improve their child’s reading skills.

Thank you for helping to provide this critical educational support. Together, we’re enabling children in need to overcome educational inequality, so they can thrive now and into their futures.
