Strengthening our community

The Aussie Hands Foundation is built on the belief that connection changes lives. 

When people with a hand difference meet others who share their experiences and understand how it feels, their confidence grows, isolation fades and futures feel brighter.  Our programs, events and research help individuals and families feel supported, informed and proud of who they are, while also building understanding and acceptance across the wider community.

Your contribution is a social investment in these outcomes and helps generate lasting impact through:

• Programs and events that build confidence and connection – such as our peer support network and community get-togethers
• Information and resources shared with families, schools and health professionals – including birthday cards for young members, resource toolkits, books and brochures
• Research through the Australian Hand Difference Register (AHDR) – improving knowledge and outcomes in the future
• Community awareness led by Ambassadors with lived experience.

Thank you for investing in a future where people with a hand difference feel seen, supported and empowered.

The results

“I remember a very emotional but happy moment at our first Aussie Hands picnic when Claire was about three,” recalls her mum, Danielle.  “It was the first time Claire had met anyone else with a hand difference. Her face lit up when she realised there were other people like her and that moment still brings tears to my eyes.”

That feeling of connection is powerful. It reminds children, adults and families that they are not alone — that they belong to a community that understands, supports and celebrates them.

 

We invite members and supporters to contribute in a way that suits you, choosing an amount and timeframe that fits with your capacity and values.
