Dolly’s Dream and Smiggle are inviting YOU to Choose Kindness in 2026!
Together we can take a stand against bullying.

Dolly’s Dream is a national anti-bullying organisation dedicated to changing the culture of bullying by providing bullying support programs and resources for families, schools and communities to assist children and young people.

1 in 4 Australian students in grades 4 to 9 report being bullied in person every few weeks. This is a statistic we can change together. Smiggle and Dolly’s Dream believe in the power of kindness, and together we can share kindness far and wide.

According to Kate Everett, Dolly’s mum and co-founder of Dolly’s Dream, kindness campaigns like this are vital, giving parents and caregivers a reason to talk to children in an age-appropriate way about the importance of choosing empathy and kindness, to help stop bullying before it even starts.

Smiggle is calling on its thousands of fans across the country to drop into a Smiggle store and purchase their $3 Choose Kindness Reuse Me Bag (available in store and online).

All proceeds from any Choose Kindness purchase goes directly to fund Dolly’s Dream resources and support programs including their confidential bullying support line, school and community workshops, the free Beacon Cyber Safety App and Bullying Support Hub, all of which offer support and solutions for young people, parents, caregivers and communities to help stop bullying.

Everyone is also invited to get creative to spread kindness with Smiggle’s free Kindness Origami Butterfly activity available in store and online. Fans can then gif their kindness butterfly to a friend or family member or take it to their local Smiggle store where it will be proudly displayed on the Choose Kindness Wall.
