Turning pre-loved into re-loved so every child thrives.

About us

Our Village is an exciting new chapter for three of Victoria's most loved charities. St Kilda Mums, Geelong Mums and Eureka Mums have joined forces. Together, as Our Village, we will increase our impact for babies, children and the environment. This move enables us to put more resources on the front line to achieve our goals of reaching every Victorian baby and child up to the age of six that needs us while reducing the waste that ends up in landfill. Our Village collects pre-loved essential items for babies and children and partners with social services to re-home them so no baby or child goes without. We were founded on the belief that anything is possible when we work together. Today we are a dedicated community of donors and volunteers helping over 20,000 babies and children every year and reducing the waste that ends up in landfill. We welcome volunteers on a daily basis at our warehouses in Melbourne and Geelong to help us prepare donations for distribution.

    On October the 25th we held the inaugural oOh! Media Women's Golf Day at Albert Park. This event has grown from humble beginnings over 5 years ago to a fully sponsored event with over 80 players taking to the course last week. A huge thankyou to our partners: Albert Park Golf Course especially Lisa Wen for being an incredible host as always Callaway Performance Center for the incredible prizes and merchandise for the day as well as Parq for the fantastic merch for our goodie bags.

    For a family with six kids, the cost of everyday necessities like toiletries can add up quickly. This mum reached out to us, worried about how she could provide the basics her children needed. We were able to supply her with toiletries and wipes, easing the financial burden so she can focus on being there for her kids. It’s often the simplest things that can make the biggest difference—because when a family is supported, children can thrive. 💚

    We’re so grateful to our friends at Bunnings for their generous donation of a brand-new tent! This provides a sheltered space for our volunteers and donors at our Melbourne warehouse, keeping everyone safe and comfortable as they drop off and sort essential items for babies and children in need. Thank you Bunnings, for your ongoing support and for being such an important part of our community! 💚

    Foresight's Melbourne office recently took part in a team charity day supporting the charity, Our Village. The organisation does important work collecting and distributing children’s clothes and baby equipment to families who have needed to rehome in difficult circumstances. "It was great to be supporting this organisation again. The team helped prepare the much-needed donations for distribution. It was fascinating to hear how the charity embeds sustainability into its work, reducing waste and pollution by extending the life cycle of kids’ essential goods through repair and reuse." - Edward Lloyd – Head of Australia, Foresight The activity forms part of Foresight's '#InvestingInOurFuture' initiative, where teams are encouraged to give back to the communities that need it the most.

    Mondays can be tough, but waking up today knowing that over 20 families will receive much-needed prams made it so much easier. Last week, our Communications team took a special Mystery Bus trip with Good Company to visit Our Village (formerly St Kilda Mums) — an amazing charity that supports vulnerable families and carers. We jumped right in, cleaning, repairing, and assembling prams, each one carefully filled with teddies and blankets, ready to bring comfort to families today. 🧸🏡 Our Village is doing incredible work, ensuring all children have access to essentials like prams, clothing, nappies, and toys. Being able to support them as a team, while using company volunteer days, has been so rewarding! Thank you GoodCompany for making it such an easy and fun way to make a difference.
