Australian Childhood Foundation

 

We are proud to partner with an organisation whose ethos is to use business as a force for good. The Body Shop is deeply committed to understanding the work we do and the impact it has on the lives of children recovering from the trauma of abuse, neglect and family violence.

 


Together, we aim to raise awareness of the right of all children to a safe and loving childhood. The partnership also aims to raise $70,000 over the next 12 months to support our specialised therapeutic doll program.

 

 

These funds will produce 400 therapeutic dolls to be used in our counselling sessions with children, to help them heal and recover through play. It will also provide 50 children with 200 additional counselling hours, as well as specialist training for 100 counsellors.

 

How can you help support Healing Hearts?

Treat yourself and do it with pride knowing that you’re helping some of Australia’s most vulnerable children. $3 from every sale of The Body Shop’s Almond Milk & Honey Soothing & Restoring Body Lotion will be donated to support our therapeutic doll program.
