Did you know that it’s normal to give children in care bin bags to carry their belongings during moves within the system?
Madlug Foundation is a charity on a mission to ensure no child in care carries their belongings in a bin bag. Since 2015, we’ve distributed over 102,000 bright and durable packaway bags to children entering the care system.
This provides them with a sense of dignity and ownership during a difficult transition.
We empower children and young people in care by promoting their self-worth and dignity.
