Youth

Whatever the cause may be, the Rapid Relief Team (RRT) steps in to support disadvantaged children. From assisting charities that care for children who are unwell, to supporting government education initiatives for children from low-socio economic backgrounds, RRT volunteers band together to bring a little joy into the life of children facing adversities.

Help us make a difference

RRT volunteers serve quality food and refreshments to children at youth-focused events. Through the support we provide, we aim to raise awareness and funds for charitable or government organisations we’re supporting, and to bring a smile to children’s faces.

Cookie Cares

You can bring a little joy into a child’s life by donating $20 to RRT, which can be used to gift our beloved Cookie the Kookaburra to a child in need.

If you wish to donate to RRT in another region, and receive a tax-deductible receipt, you will need to visit their website by clicking on the dropdown menu at the top of this page.
