THANK YOU

WHAT DO WE DO? Kookaburra Kids delivers services to young

people, aged 8-18 years, experiencing familial

mental illness, with the aim of empowering

them to build resilience, lifelong knowledge,

skills and abilities, in order for them to reach

their potential.

The program provides evidence-based, age

appropriate prevention and early intervention

mental health services embedded within a peer-

based social and activity-based format.

Children registered to the program attend age

appropriate camps and activity days where

they participate in important mental health

education programs as well as unforgettable fun

recreational and creative activities, at no cost to

their families.

With your help, we can reach more children to

grow beyond the impacts of familial mental illness.

By fundraising for Kookaburra Kids you will not only be supporting vulnerable young people to grow beyond the impacts of familial mental illness, but will join in advocating

for greater awareness of mental health among

all Australians.

HOW YOUCAN HELP

Children that

have a parent with a mental illness are 50% more likely develop a mental

health issue without some form of early intervention.

DID YOU KNOW?

(Hazel 2010, WHO 2005).

Get your mates, colleagues, family, school or community groups together and hold a fundraiser. It’s always fun to work as a team or you might like to take the opportunity to conquer a solo challenge and raise funds at the same time. There’s heaps of options.

LIKE FITNESS?

Like keeping fit? OR wanting to reach a goal? There are many events around the country to choose from to suit all fitness levels, from 2km runs to marathons! Ocean swims more your style? Maybe cycling is more your speed? Challenge yourself & your mates!

IN THE WORKPLACENothing like a bit of team camaraderie (or team competition)! Workplace fundraisers, or challenges, can be engaging, fun and a great way for team bonding. It could be as simple as funny shirt Friday, a bake off, or “challenge the boss”. Or, simply participate in workplace giving, straight out of your pay. We would love to give you some fun ideas.

AT YOUR SCHOOLIs your school passionate about the community? Maybe you want to motivate them to be more community minded? Your school can help children living in families affected by mental illness by hosting a fundraiser! Gold coin donation for mufti days, crazy hair day? We can provide donation buckets and collateral to help, email us to find out more!

TAKE ON A CHALLENGE! Taking on a challenge in support of Kookaburra Kids can be a very rewarding experience. If you love a challenge why not raise funds to skydive, maybe a swim with sharks? You could even climb to the Everest Base Camp!

DONATIONS IN LIEU If you don’t need gifts that are just going to sit in the cupboard, why not encourage your family and friends to make a donation to Kookaburra Kids in lieu of a gift? It’s a fun way to bring the family together.

ORGANISE AN EVENTHost a high tea, industry lunch or run a golf day! Create great networking opportunities and industry recognition while highlighting a connection to mental health.

MENTAL HEALTH MONTH - OCTOBER

Throughout the month of October, choose any of the above activities as a campaign in your workplace or community. We can provide you with collateral to assist in your month-long campaign.

A rewarding way to help kids in families affected by mental illness AND donations over $2 are tax deductible so everyone’s a winner!

Kookaburra Kids can provide you with printed or digital, collateral, donation buckets and more. Just ask!

Your generous fundraising efforts help us to provide a unique annual program of camps and activity days to young people impacted by familial mental illness.

The weekend camps feature a range of recreational and creative activities, where children meet peers who share similar experiences. Young people participating in the program also participate in Chat Group, the psycho-education component where Kookaburra Kids then come together with their leaders in a small group to have age-appropriate discussions surrounding a) mental health literacy; b) appropriate help-seeking for emotional and personal problems; and c) effective coping skills that facilitate social participation around the theme of mental health and wellbeing.

Activity days are another opportunity where children can catch up, participate in fun, leisure activities and mental health education on a smaller scale. Activities are held during the school holidays as well as monthly in different locations and all age groups are accommodated.

Kookaburra Kids relies heavily on volunteers to assist with delivering the physical side of the program. We have an amazing group of passionate volunteers who all undergo relevant training and, appropriate working with children checks and police checks. Our volunteers come from all walks of life, bringing genuine enthusiasm and support to the children in the program.

Your funds ensure that these programs are delivered to children registered in the program, and empower them to build resilience and life-long knowledge, skills and abilities to reach their potential.

WHEREDOES IT GO?

On behalf of Ella* and myself we would like to thank you and all the

Kookaburra Kids staff for the camp over the weekend. Ella is still talking

about it so fondly. Ella really enjoyed the ‘talks’ and education about mental

health. She has also changed her approach when she recognises that daddy

might be a little stressed. Thank you.

Australian Kookaburra Kids Fundraising GuidelinesThank you for your interest in choosing Australian Kookaburra Kids Foundation as a charity beneficiary for your upcoming fundraising event.

These guidelines have been developed to assist individuals, schools, workplaces, clubs, community groups, businesses and companies developing fundraising projects & events to benefit Australian Kookaburra Kids Foundation.

1. Fundraising for Australian Kookaburra Kids Foundation

1.1. These Fundraising Guidelines have been developed to assist individuals, groups and organisations “Fundraiser/s” who are planning to organise a project/event on behalf of Australian Kookaburra Kids Foundation. A Fundraiser must agree to these terms and conditions by signing and returning the Fundraising Application. If the application to fundraise is approved by Australian Kookaburra Kids Foundation these terms and conditions will form the basis of any dealings between Australian Kookaburra Kids Foundation and the Fundraiser in relation to the fundraising event.

2. Authorisation

2.1. Fundraisers must provide Australian Kookaburra Kids Foundation with:

- a clear written description of the nature, extent and duration of the fundraising event; and

- provide information about the group or individuals organising the activity, when completing the Fundraising Application.

2.2. Any individual or organisation organising a fundraising event on behalf of Australian Kookaburra Kids Foundation must, by law, have a Letter of Authority to Fundraise. Australian Kookaburra Kids Foundation will issue the Fundraiser this letter if their Application is accepted and Australian Kookaburra Kids Foundation is satisfied that:

- The fundraising activity fits in with the aims and values of Australian Kookaburra Kids Foundation; and
