Tots2Teens is seeking funding to support the ongoing rent for “The Nest”, a trauma-informed, client-led service for individuals and families fleeing domestic violence. “The Nest” provides a safe, calm space where clients can choose essential items such as new clothing, toiletries, toys and baby care products -restoring dignity, choice, and a sense of control during crisis.

Designed to reduce trauma and support emotional regulation, “The Nest” replaces standardised care packs with personalised support. Funding will help maintain stock levels, cover operational costs (rent, rates and other expenses), and expand our reach, ensuring more families can access practical, compassionate assistance when they need it most.

Once a year we run a “Monthly Rent Sponsors” day and try to gain 12 months of rent, $25,000, to keep us running for the next 12 months. It will be run in May 2026 right before tax time so that businesses and individuals can make a donation and write it off in there tax. Keep your eyes peeled and please spread the word.
