Bravehearts

Belmont Santa Studio proudly was a registered charity partner with Bravehearts Children's Charity, raising thousands of dollars in much needed funds and raising awareness of Ditto's Keep Safe Program in local schools and the local and wider community. We continue to support Bravehearts by having donation boxes in our studio for visitors to donate to this wonderful cause.
Bravehearts’ key purpose is to educate, empower and protect Australian kids from sexual assault.
Bravehearts Vision is to make Australia the safest place in the world to raise a child by 2020. To achieve this, they depend on business, government and community support. This will ensure continued delivery of school-based prevention programs as well as training, counselling, support and advocacy for survivors. It will also allow continued research and important legislative reform agenda.
Since its inception in 1997, Bravehearts has successfully moved this once taboo subject out of the shadows and into the light. As a result of its persistence, this distinction was acknowledged and supported by the Commonwealth Government and its COAG partners via the National Framework for the Protection of Australia’s Children (2009-2020).
It is only through increasing general awareness, increasing skills and capacity building for those working and living with children, preventative strategies, education and strong policies and legislation that Bravehearts can accomplish Our Mission - to stop child sexual assault in society. Bravehearts specialist services are instrumental in preventing the sexual assault of Australian children and giving hope and healing to the most vulnerable and precious members of our community – our kids
Bravehearts was founded by Hetty Johnston during Child Protection Week, September 1997.
Bravehearts' members comprise survivors, parents, friends, partners, professionals and non-abusive members of the community who share in the belief that child sexual assault must stop.
Bravehearts aims to empower, educate and protect by providing healing and support, engendering child sexual assault prevention and protection strategies; advocating for understanding and promoting increased education and research.
