The Alannah & Madeline Day Purple Picnic

Hosting a Purple Picnic this 17 September is a simple way to help change the course of a child’s life after trauma and fear have stolen their childhood. 

When children escape violence with nothing, the funds you raise through your picnic help ensure a Buddy Bag is waiting for them – turning a moment of fear into one of comfort.
