At Waratah and Wood, every awareness design tells a story — but behind the scenes, every awareness product also carries a purpose. From awareness collections to endangered wildlife ranges, we’ve chosen to link our work to causes that matter deeply, not only to us but to many of you too.

💙 Supporting MND Australia

Motor Neurone Disease (ALS/Lou Gehrigs Disease) is more than just a name to us — it’s personal. My mum passed from MND (Lou Gehrigs Disease), and her strength inspires me every day. To honor her, every awareness product that isn’t cancer-related will contribute a donation to MND Australia. Their work funds vital research and supports families impacted by this devastating disease, keeping hope alive for a future without MND.

💛 Supporting Cancer Council Australia

Cancer has also touched our family. My dad passed from leukaemia, and in his memory, all of our cancer awareness items will send a donation to Cancer Council Australia. They’re at the forefront of funding research, prevention programs, and support services that make an incredible difference to people living with cancer and their loved ones.

🌏 Supporting WWF Australia

Beyond people, our hearts also belong to the unique wildlife we share this land with. From koalas to wombats and echidnas to blue whales, possums, and even the tiniest critter, the critically endangered grassland earless dragon, Australia’s animals face enormous challenges. That’s why every endangered species product donates to WWF Australia, supporting their vital work to protect habitats and save species teetering on the edge of extinction.

Why It Matters

These aren’t just charities to us — they’re connections to family, to memory, and to the future we want to help build. By choosing a shirt, mug, tote, or ornament from our store, you’re doing more than buying a product. You’re helping fund hope, research, and protection — for people, for families, and for the creatures who can’t speak for themselves.

Every small step matters. Together, they add up to change.
