On World Children’s Day we celebrate the rights and wellbeing of children around the world. But for children in the care system, their journeys can be much harder. While many of us take for granted the stability and support in our lives, children in care face unique challenges that deserve our attention and action.

Here are five key facts about the care system to consider this Children’s Day.

As the holiday season begins, we’re reminded of what matters most – kindness,
generosity, and purpose. That’s why, this year, Madlug is choosing to skip Black
Friday sales and focus on something more lasting: making a meaningful impact
on the lives of children in care. A mission that drives us every day of the year,
not just at Christmas.

At Madlug, we’re taking a different approach to Black Friday and inviting you to
‘gift with purpose’.

This festive season alone, an estimated 6,000 children will transition into care. Many of these children and young will have their belongings moved in bin bags, a practice that often leaves lasting effects on their self-esteem and sense of worth.

This Christmas, Madlug is calling on shoppers to help change this narrative by choosing gifts that make a difference. Every Madlug bag purchased provides a pack-away travel bag to a child in care, giving them something more than a safe way to carry their belongings—a sense of value, worth and dignity.

This Christmas, why not give gifts that carry a message of kindness and impact? Madlug offers quality, functional bags that also support a meaningful cause. Every Madlug purchase helps provide a travel bag to a child in care, so your gift has a direct, positive impact.
