Share the Dignity

Hey tradies, mates, dads - if you’re heading into Bunnings this November you might spot a big box (it's probably going to be pink). Please don't just walk past, please take action 🙏 You see it is so much more than just a fun decorated box, it is hope, it's dignity and for some, it's a new beginning. We are asking YOU to make a difference this Christmas. All it takes is filling a bag with the essentials (shampoo & conditioner, toothbrush & toothpaste, deodorant, soap, and period products). Then drop it off at Bunnings by November 30. Too busy? Donate a few dollars and we’ll do it for you. Either way, you’re giving more than a bag, you’re giving love and hope. Step up this November. Be the bloke who makes a difference. 💪 Learn more: https://lnkd.in/d8GxA4yy #brointheknow

This one’s for the women who do it all, from running teams, leading businesses, juggling life, and still finding time to lift others up. This Christmas, let’s make our impact count. Instead of scrambling for client gifts or team hampers, join A Bloody Good Christmas to donate virtual It's in the Bags to women and girls experiencing homelessness or domestic violence. It’s one less thing on your to-do list, and one Bloody Good way to make meaningful change. Because when women in business come together, we don’t just move the needle, we make lasting change. 🎀 Let’s do business differently this Christmas. Less Ribbon. More Reason. Join us. Join the movement. Give with purpose, and help us reach our goal of 150,000 Dignity Bags. 👉 Get your business involved at https://lnkd.in/gWcS836Q

Today is Universal Children’s Day and I am recalling the first Dignity Vending Machine we installed in a Melbourne school - Hampton Park Secondary School. I recall a young lady sharing a story about how she had got her period the week before the Dignity Vending Machine was installed, she had got her period unexpectedly and bled on the back of her uniform and on the chair, the boys laughed at her. She left school on that Tuesday morning and went home to text her mum asking her to bring home some period products. Sarah’s mum called her so upset as she explained to her that she didn’t get paid until Thursday. Sarah missed 2 ½ days of school that week. It is not uncommon for a household to live one paycheck to another with more than 3 million Australians living below the poverty line. I was adamant then as I am now that no student should have their education disrupted by a lack of period products. Schools equipped with our Dignity Vending Machines are leading the way for student support. Children deserve safe, dignified access to essential products. Our Dignity Vending Machines ensure that no student is left behind. Our goal in Australia is simple. Wherever a girl is receiving an education there should be access to period products and while each state and territory is doing their own thing it is evident we still have a long way to go. Our primary schools are often left behind, our Tafes and universities too. BUT so too are our girls in private schools. I know I went to a private school and my family was not wealthy at all, both parents worked two jobs to ensure I received an education. It is time for all wherever a girl is receiving an education there is FREE dignified access to period products. Does your school provide period products?  

It might be the smallest Bunnings in Australia, but it's making a HUGE impact 💫 Emerson from Bunnings Kalamunda in WA was only too happy to help our volunteer Janine fill her car with an impressive 37 It's in the Bag donations - 19 Adult, 11 Teen and 7 Mum & Bub Bags. Thank you Janine for sharing! We are so bloody proud to have the most incredible network of volunteers in all of Australia. We simply couldn't make the impact we do without our amazing volunteers generously lending their time to collecting, checking and counting donations throughout It’s in the Bag 💖

After years of domestic violence at the hands of the father of her children, Miranda was brave enough to leave her ex with the help of her brother-in-law, courageously fighting for the safety of her children. Her story on the latest episode of Another Bloody Podcast is a powerful reminder of the impact an It's in the Bag has for a woman fleeing domestic violence. Every bag you donate helps women like Miranda have the dignity they deserve. 🎧 Listen to her episode wherever you get your podcasts and make an impact by donating to our It's in the Bag appeal this November.
