Riffs isn't a charity. We're a live music project that builds giving back into what we do. Through fundraising gigs, ticket donations, raffles and community events, our shows raise money and awareness for organisations doing work outside the music industry.
This is where we spotlight the organisations we support.
For Kids In Care (also known as Christmas Presents for Kids in Care) is an Australian charity supporting children living in residential care - kids who've been removed from their families by the Department of Child Safety due to neglect or abuse, and for whom adoption or foster care didn't work out.
Their mission is to bring a moment of joy and warmth into the lives of these kids during a time of year that can be especially hard - reminding them they're valued and cherished by their community, even when they can't be with their own family.
A wrapped present to open on Christmas morning, for kids in residential care who'd otherwise go without.
Backpacks with clothes, hygiene products and school essentials for kids newly placed in residential care.
Goodie bags and support for the Transition to Adulthood program, helping 16-18 year olds leaving the care system.
Since 2014, they've packed over 4,275 presents delivered to kids in care.
More community and charity partners coming soon.
