Target & Australian Childhood Foundation

Partnering together to support the Bringing Up Great Kids program

We have joined forces with Australian Childhood Foundation to become a champion for women and their loved ones.

We have pledged $250,000 to the Foundation to start the journey with our customers and team in support of this organisation that is making a positive impact and enabling women and their children to be safe, strong and healthy.

Our partnership will assist in the development of a specific adaptation of Australian Childhood Foundation's Bringing Up Great Kids program, that will focus on vulnerable young mums as they build positive and nurturing relationships with their children.

For more than 35 years, leading not-for-profit organisation and our partner, Australian Childhood Foundation, have been providing specialist counselling and support programs to young Australians and their families who have been traumatised by abuse and family violence.

The tailored online Bringing Up Great Kids program will focus on the first 1000 days of a child's life, seeking to empower mothers to provide the nurturing and reparative care required by children to recover from the traumatic impacts of abuse and family violence, which can include mental ill-health and social and learning difficulties.

As we build on our partnership, we aim to raise awareness about resources available to all parents and make sure that Australian Childhood Foundation can continue to deliver critical services to vulnerable children and parents that need support and care.

By supporting our communities – from mothers, fathers and grandparents to parental figures and children - to be safe, strong, and healthy, we can help to grow a society that holds children with safety and love. That's Target.
