There are more than 391,000 young people in Australia taking on the responsibility of caring for family members, often without recognition or support. Balancing school, home life and caring duties can leave them feeling isolated, stressed and missing out on everyday childhood experiences.

That’s why we’re proud to back Little Dreamers Australia through our 2026 Double Donation campaign. Together with the support of our members, the community and matching contributions up to $10,000 from the Beyond Bank Foundation, more than $21,000 was raised for Little Dreamers Australia.

These funds are already helping deliver practical, life-changing support programs, including Mentoring, Tutoring, School Holiday Programs and Peer Connection Activities. For Young Carers, this means time to recharge, stay engaged with school and connect with others who understand their experience. 

Over time, this support can change life trajectories, helping Young Carers build confidence, stay in education, and develop the skills and relationships they need to thrive into adulthood. 

Because you bank with Beyond Bank, this impact is possible. Each year, we invest a share of our profits into the Beyond Bank Foundation to support organisations like Little Dreamers to create brighter futures for those who need it most.
