Australian Children's Charities

Cottage by the Sea, one of the oldest Australian Children’s charities is a non government, not for profit organization that empowers disadvantaged children by supporting them in developing their mind, body and wellbeing by providing leadership and outreach programs in a positive, healthy, seaside environment.

$600 of your investment in Australian children’s charities can provide cosy accommodation, nutritious food and fun activities for a disadvantaged child for a week's camp.
