About the Purple Picnic
When you host a Purple Picnic throughout September or on Alannah & Madeline Day, 18 September, you’ll raise funds to help provide Buddy Bags for the 32 children taken into emergency care every day in Australia – helping them feel safe, cared for and loved, perhaps for the first time in their lives.
Your picnic, your way
Host a picnic in the park or your backyard, throw a potluck in the office, or deck your dining table with purple goodies!
Which ever way you choose to host, your Purple Picnic can give a sense of safety, comfort and a Buddy Bag to the 32 children fleeing danger every day in Australia.

Pick your perfect picnic date – whether it’s on Alannah & Madeline Day or anytime during September – and invite your friends, family, or colleagues to join in the fun.
Whether it’s in a park, the office, or your own backyard, your Purple Picnic will help spread love, safety and comfort – one sandwich at a time.
Make a difference
Spread out the picnic rug, tuck into some treats, and help bring comfort to a child fleeing violence.
Every dollar you raise will help fund Buddy Bags packed with essential and comforting items for children escaping violence – reminding them they are not alone.
With each bite, sip and dollar raised, you'll help ensure no child misses out on love, safety, and care.
Host a Purple Picnic to help children escaping violence feel safe and comforted
A Buddy Bag packed with brand-new essentials should be waiting for every child who has fled danger.
But right now, half the children who need one are missing out becasue we don't have any enough funds.
This September, you can help change that and ensure every child in emergency care has the comfort of a Buddy Bag.
