Every donated item matters

At Roundabout Canberra, we believe the smallest things can make the biggest difference: a cot for a safe night’s sleep, clothes that fit just right, a pram that makes the walk to the park possible.

We collect high-quality new and preloved items for children (from newborns through to age 16) from our generous community. Every donation is carefully cleaned, checked and packed by our dedicated volunteers, then passed on through trusted local services. This way, families receive not just essential items, but dignity, care and connection.

How you can help

Donate Items

Give your quality preloved or new children’s goods a second life. From tiny socks to sturdy prams, your gifts keep children safe, warm and included (and keep thousands of items out of landfill)!

Donate Time

We are volunteer-powered, and there is a role for everyone. Whether you have an hour or all day, come on your own, with a friend, or a group from work – your time helps families feel supported with dignity.

Donate Money

Every dollar makes an immediate impact. Your donation helps us process thousands of items every month, as well as purchase critical items when supplies run low, ensuring we never have to say no to a child in need.

Every family deserves dignity

Through our partnerships with social services, we ensure the safety, well-being and dignity of children and their families. Our focus on essential items allows services to concentrate on supporting families with their other needs.
