You're giving children hope this Christmas

Together, we’re making sure Kids Helpline is there to answer the calls of children and young people when they need it most. 

When you buy tickets in yourtown's Prize Draws, you’re doing more than dreaming of a new home or car – you’re helping fund critical services for young people. 

Every ticket you purchase, every generous donation you make, helps answer a life-changing phone call to Kids Helpline, so no child in crisis goes unheard.

“My hope is that young people and children know that there are people who truly care and that they have a right to feel supported, loved and above all else, safe." – Kim

Share your hope with us

Thanks to the community’s support, this year Kids Helpline reached an extraordinary milestone: 9 million calls answered. And that number continues to grow. 

Every day, Kids Helpline counsellors help hundreds of children and young people facing complex challenges and provide hope when it’s needed most. 

Whether it’s 2 am in a remote community or 2 pm in a busy capital city, on the phone or online  thanks to yourtown supporters, someone is there to answer the call.

In 2023/24, the Art Union contributed an incredible 59% of yourtown's revenue. This support is vital and it's thanks to our supporters that we're able to provide life-changing services to those who need them most.

Every ticket you purchase helps ensure no child slips through the cracks, protects children and young people, supports families at high or imminent risk of harm from domestic violence, and empowers young people to break the cycle of unemployment.
