It’s in the Bag has grown to become one of Australia’s most cherished Christmas appeals. Everyday Australians are encouraged to fill a bag (adult, teen, or mum and bub) with essential items, pop in a simple handwritten ‘Dear Her’ note, and donate their bags at a local Bunnings. For those willing and able to go above and beyond, we encourage the addition of an extra special touch.
Kitty Stitt of Forbes, is a women’s circle facilitator, mum of three daughters and school teacher, and has just held her 60th full moon circle in a row, which is a huge achievement for a facilitator.
For the last five years Kitty has hosted women at By Kitty’s Holistic Health Centre in Forbes every single month, including a blue moon in May 2026 (two full moons that month). This year, as a group, they decided to support ‘It’s in the Bag’. It’s a great idea to get your friends involved, could be your book club, mother’s group or any Association.
Kitty Stitt said, “I began supporting the ‘It’s in the Bag’ initiative the year of its inception, 2015, with Jo Laurie’s Meditation Group, and have been donating bags each November for 11 years (this is my twelfth year).
“The thought of a teenage girl not being able to attend school or join in sport because of period poverty breaks my heart. I am a strong advocate in this area and encourage others to support Share the Dignity in any way they can.”
