Today is R U Ok Day. Would you be happy if I posted this to our page?

Today is R U OK? Day

You might be surprised to learn that many people underestimate the power of an R U OK? Conversation?

Asking someone if they are ok can make them feel cared about, supported and loved.

If you notice someone is acting different or seems to be withdrawing, or struggling you can make a difference to their life by asking them if they are ok.

We know that so many people are suffering in silence and don’t reach out for help when they struggling.

Don’t struggle alonge help is always available.

Tassie Mums is a not-for-profit group that is passionate about providing essential items to babies and children in need.

We collect donations of new and preloved baby and children’s clothing and other small items through donation drop points which are supported by local individuals, schools and businesses.

Donations are carefully sorted and bundled by volunteers and then "rehomed" via social service organisations to vulnerable and at-risk children statewide.

Tassie Mums has no direct contact with recipients.

Clothing bundles are made for babies and children from premature birth up to approximately 14 years of age. Other items we rehome include nappies, play mats, cot linen and toiletry packs.
