charities
We believe that everyone has the right to be who they are. To be able to express themselves and be proud of what they stand for irrespective of race, colour, gender, sexuality or creed. That is why we are called unlabelled, a social enterprise committed to the prevention of youth suicide.
Over 350 Australian teens suicide every year. And for every one of our kids that we lose to suicide, there are thousands more that try. It’s a tragic number. Even one is a tragic number. There are a multitude of reasons why our young people resort to self-harm including a lack of self-worth, bad relationships, racial discrimination, gender identity, sexuality, depression and bullying are just some of the reasons. There are many, many more.
At unlabelled we don’t profess to be experts in this area, but we are passionate about supporting those who are. Which is why we commit 100% of our profits to resourcing those organisations who do such important work to help prevent youth suicide.
Below are the charities we have chosen to partner with. Each brings its own very special lens to the issues behind youth suicide and each works hard to help our young people who need support.
If, by buying unlabelled products your contribution can help save just one life, then we believe it’s certainly worth it. We hope you feel so too.
Headspace
Just like unlabelled, headspace understands the need for bespoke support for young people. With a focus on early intervention, headspace works with young people aged 12-25 to provide mental health support at a crucial time in their lives. headspace helps young people with mental health, physical health (including sexual health) alcohol and other drug services, and work and study support.

Kids Helpline
At unlabelled we believe it’s important to be able to provide young people with 24/7 support from qualified counsellors who understand what they are going through. Kids Helpline is Australia’s only free, confidential 24/7 online and phone counselling service for young people aged 5 to 25. Their qualified counsellors are available via WebChat, phone or email, anytime and for any reason. Since 1991, they have responded to over 8 million contacts. For many young people, connecting with Kids Helpline has been a life-saving experience, while for others it’s about practical help and emotional support at the critical moment they needed someone to listen.
