Thank you to the team at Alexandria store for helping to connect young carers to creative play experiences!

Last year 13 Officeworks stores raised funds to create Joy Boxes via the Officeworks #makeadifference Appeal and their continued support is amazing.

Thank you Officeworks! 💙🤍❤️

Lions create miracles through service. As Australia’s largest volunteer service organisation Lions have the ability and willingness to support local, national and international humanitarian causes and make an impact.

There are over 100 clubs supporting CaringKids today, and what this support means is Joy Boxes can reach more young carers than ever before.

Last year close to 800 young carers received a Joy Box. These young carers are providing care to family members living with a disability, illness, mental illness and terminal illness.

Thank you to all the Lions Clubs for your ongoing support.
