Spring Soiree

Join us for an unforgettable evening as we welcome spring in style at the Spring Soiree with Friends, the event of the season!
 
This enchanting soirée will take place on Saturday, August 10, at the fabulous Glasshouse at The Island Gold Coast. Doors open at 6 PM and the magic lasts until late.

April PJ Drive

 
Every April at Friends with Dignity we hold our PJ Drive where we ask the community to donate new pyjamas for children from babies to size kids 16.
 
These PJs are then given to local refuges and services for the children in their care ensuring that they have a lovely fresh pair of jammies to cuddle in to.
 

Back to School Drive

Being a kid can be tough. Being a kid when things aren’t great can be even tougher.

Now in its seventh year, the Friends with Dignity annual Back to School Drive helps support our Little Friends in refuge to stand out for all the right reasons this coming school year.
