Volunteer to fundraise for a little hero in your community

Help Our Little Heroes isn’t possible without the incredible support of volunteers. By giving your time, you’re helping us raise vital funds so families across North Australia can stay close to their children while they receive hospital care. Every dollar raised through this campaign directly supports local families in your region — providing warm meals, a safe place to rest, and the comfort of being together during some of life’s toughest moments.

Volunteering for Help Our Little Heroes is just one way you can make a difference.

Together, we can give families the strength and support they need — right when they need it most.

How do other regions get involved or volunteer?

  • Fundraise locally: Register online and choose how you’d like to support — from hosting a school fundraiser, morning tea, or workplace challenge, to setting up a personal fundraising page. Every dollar raised in your community helps keep families close to their sick child.

  • Volunteer your time: Even just a few hours at an event, helping spread the word, or supporting local fundraisers makes a big difference.

  • Join virtually: If you’re not near one of our Houses or events, you can still take part by fundraising online or cheering on others through our Find a Fundraiser page.

No matter where you are, you can be part of giving seriously ill kids the best chance — and supporting their families through the toughest times.
