Loved & Shared is built on the premise ‘it takes a village to raise a child'. We come together as a community to gift and rehome high-quality donated nursery and children’s goods to families experiencing hardship. We involve a dedicated network of volunteers, service providers, community groups, goods donors, financial donors and other supporters in our work. Together, we ensure all families in South West Victoria have access to essential resources required to raise thriving children. We believe that communities are strengthened when people come together to share resources, skills, and assets. Our gifts alleviate the pressures of financial hardship, assist families to become active and engaged in their community, and support the physical and emotional needs of children facing adversity. Our work to gift and rehome new and preloved nursery and children’s goods reduces the number of items sent to landfill in our region. We are passionate about preserving the earth’s precious natural resources for future generations.
