At The Lottery Office, we believe that small acts of kindness can make a big difference. Recently, our team came together to support a local Nappy Drive facilitated by Mortgage Choice Robina, helping The Nappy Collective provide essential supplies to families doing it tough.
The initiative brought our team together for a great cause, with team members purchasing packs of nappies and bringing them in to contribute to the collection. To help make an even bigger impact, The Lottery Office also boosted the donations by giving the team an extra $1,000 to spend on nappies!
Helping Families Through the Nappy Collective
The Nappy Collective is an Australian charity that collects unused nappies and redistributes them to families experiencing hardship. This includes mums and children staying in refuges and safe houses, families facing homelessness, and parents who are struggling to afford everyday essentials.
For many families, nappies are a necessity that can put enormous pressure on an already stretched household budget. Some parents are faced with the heartbreaking choice between buying nappies and putting food on the table.
Sadly, nappy need is a bigger issue than many people realise, with an estimated 280,000 children across Australia living in families that cannot afford enough nappies.
That is why community initiatives like this one are so important. Every pack donated helps ease some of the pressure on families and ensures more children have access to this essential everyday item.
CEO for The Lottery Office, Jaclyn Wood said,
“While the well-known charities do incredible work, sometimes it’s the smaller or lesser-known organisations that need a helping hand to get their message out there and reach the people who need them most. I’m always proud of how our team gets behind a great cause, and initiatives like this Nappy Drive are a reminder that even a simple contribution can make a genuine difference to families doing it tough”.

Supporting Causes That Matter
The Nappy Drive is just one of the ways The Lottery Office team gets behind causes that make a difference. From hosting a Pink Ribbon Breakfast to raise funds for the National Breast Cancer Foundation, to supporting motor neurone disease (MND) awareness through our Gold Coast Titans partnership with Jai Arrow and MND Queensland, we’re proud to support charities and community initiatives that help people facing difficult circumstances.
Whether it’s raising funds, contributing donations or bringing our team together to support a worthy cause, we believe that giving back is an important part of being part of the local community.
With over $2.3 Million in charitable funds so far, check out other initiatives and donations made via The Lottery Office Chairty Fund.
