Little Windmills loves country kids! We reckon Hope, Health and Happiness should be a staple part of every Aussie kids childhood. When kids from around remote, rural and regional Australia are doing it tough we step in and lend a hand. We financially assist families who have children who are seriously sick, injured or have special needs. By subsidising things like medical costs, travel and accommodation and providing essential equipment and services, we relieve some of the financial burden on families and allow mums and dads to focus on what’s important, the wellbeing of their little one.
Little Windmills works directly with families, hospitals and other organisations and tailors the support we provide to meet each families unique needs in their darkest hours. Its through the invaluable support of Australians who generously donate and support our events that we can meet the needs of the country children who need us.
Little Windmills has three main streams:
- Helping seriously sick and injured children from regional and rural areas,
- Supporting rural and regional families displaced through flood or fire and
- Utilising sport as a vehicle to reach young people around key mental health topics through our Stockman Rugby – Australian Country program.
We encourage individuals, businesses, sporting clubs and community groups to consider partnering with the important work we do.
The donations and fundraising support we receive are directed to the first two programs in addition to subsidising our operational expenses. Our third program is self funded by participants and relies on the sponsorship raised by that program.
We are undergo an annual financial audit and are registered with the Australian Charities and not for profit commission. We are governed by a responsible, experienced and passionate board of volunteer directors who are passionate about helping seriously sick and injured country kids.
We are a small charity with a big heart, we have done our best to cut red tape and support those who need it and to drive down our overheads in order to maximise the support we provide to the families we help.
