Giving Back
At Brolly Sheets, we’re all about practical help with heart. Our mission goes beyond dry beds. We’re committed to creating positive change for families, the environment, our community, and fellow small businesses. Whether it’s through donations, sustainability efforts, or supporting others on their journey, we’re proud to give back in ways that count.
Here’s how:
GoGenerosity – Donate a Little, Help a Lot
At checkout, you can choose to add a small donation ($2 or $5) to support families in crisis through GoGenerosity.

In New Zealand, we support Women’s Refuge https://womensrefuge.org.nz/

In Australia, your donation helps RizeUp https://www.rizeup.com.au/about-rizeup
These donations are pooled and used to provide Brolly Sheets vouchers or products to women and children rebuilding safe lives after domestic violence.

Each winter, we proudly support Give a Kid a Blanket, a community-led initiative that collects and distributes bedding, sleepwear, and winter essentials to families in need across Auckland.

The David Awards – Backing Kiwi Business
Brolly Sheets began as a small business, so we know how important it is to have support and recognition along the way. That’s why our founder, Diane Hurford, now gives back as a judge for The David Awards, celebrating New Zealand’s boldest small business owners. As a former winner, we’re proud to pay it forward and support others on their journey.
