Celebrating 20 years of impact
To celebrate 20 years of impact, we’ve launched our very own range of Youngcare merch! From t-shirts and hoodies to tote bags and onesies, we’ve got you covered. Every dollar you give helps create real, life-changing impact, funding vital grants, specialist disability housing, and our free national helpline, Youngcare Connect.
Without government funding, we rely entirely on the generosity of our community to continue our mission. Because of you, change is possible.
So, what are you waiting for?
Look good, feel good, do good!
Our designs
When it came to designing our own merch, there was one thing we knew for certain – we were going to do it with a whole lot of heart. And what better way to get started, then with the support of our amazing Youngcare community.We put a call out to all the crafty kids, the aspiring artists, and amateur designers who wanted to make a difference.
The response? Incredible. We received such an impressive array of designs from across the country, it was hard to choose! Luckily, we had our expert judging panel (big thanks to Sylvia Jeffreys, Clare Stewart, Mark Ferguson, Fashion Critical, and Councillor Penny Wolff!), on standby.Together, they selected the winning designs that now proudly feature in our collection—a true collaboration between community, creativity, and cause.
