Creative bags to aid Barnados’ helpline

Children’s charity Barnados has teamed up with OfficeMax to raise funds for Barnados kids’ free helpline called ‘0800 What’s Up’

Last year, Barnardos’ counsellors answered more than 35,000 calls from children on the helpline.
The bulk of the calls came at Christmas and other holidays when issues around family relationships, abuse and neglect can affect children the most.

OfficeMax has designed a do-it-yourself colour-me-in bag, with $5 from each sale being donated to the helpline.

The colour-me-in bag is available for $9.99 in all OfficeMax stores nationwide and online, while stocks last.
