2026 April Pyjama Drive
Winter is fast approaching, and children living in domestic and family violence refuges often arrive with very few belongings.Â
Â
Each year, businesses, workplaces and volunteers across Australia come together for our April PJ Drive. In 2025, together we donated 2,080 pairs of brand-new pyjamas to children in domestic violence refuges nationwide.
Â
In 2026, we invite you to join us to help bring comfort, care and warmth to even more children this winter.
How to get involved
Become a collection point
Want to rally your workplace, school, gym or community group?
Â
Registering as a Collection Point means you’ll:
Â
Collect brand-new pyjamas throughout April
Download a digital toolkit with posters and social media tiles to promote the drive
Be listed on our website so others can donate to you
Make a tangible difference for children in your local community
Whether you collect 10 pairs or 200, every contribution matters.
Â
Please note: Our volunteers can only collect from the following areas:
Â
Melbourne, Newcastle, Sydney, Perth, Greater Brisbane, Logan, Ipswich, Gold Coast, Redlands, & Moreton Bay.
Â
Donate PJs to registered location near you
Once the drive launches, you’ll be able to search for a registered Collection Point in your area and drop off brand-new pyjamas (sizes 0–16).
Â
All donated pyjamas must be:
Â
Brand new
Suitable for children aged 0–16
Â
Together, we can ensure every child has something warm to wear this winter.
Monetary Donations
Not everyone can get to the shops, and that’s okay.
Â
Monetary donations allow us to:
Â
Purchase specific sizes that are in high demand
Fill urgent shortfalls in certain locations
Ensure equitable distribution across refuges nationwide
Â
Every donation, big or small, helps a child feel cared for this winter.Â
