“As a long term supporter of Bravehearts, can I ask your support for White Balloon Day? An individuals’ safety underpins their entire quality of life and is a right not an option. There is still much to do in that regard and Bravehearts is at the forefront. Bravehearts needs your assistance to continue their important and valuable work.”  

Bob Atkinson AO APM – Bravehearts Ambassador – Former Commissioner for the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse. 

FUNDRAISE FOR WHITE BALLOON DAY

Want to host a fundraising event or plan a fundraising activity with friends and family? Or perhaps you’d like to start an online fundraiser instead? We’ve got heaps of tips to help get you started right here. 

“The Australian Federal Police (AFP) is a supporter of White Balloon Day which raises awareness to support Australian children affected by sexual assault. The AFP plays a significant role in child protection. In 2016-17, the AFP received more than 10,000 reports of child exploitation material through its Child Protection Assessment Centre. Prevention and deterrence initiatives are key strategies used to prevent the exploitation of children, and remove children from harm. We all have a part to play in preventing child abuse and neglect, but we can’t do it on our own – we need your help. Your help can be as simple as participating in White Balloon Day.”
