Click on the banners below to learn more about some of the charities Nikki has supported over the years and how she has been involved with them.

War Child

War Child is an international relief and development agency, dedicated to providing immediate, effective and sustainable aid to children affected by war.

War Child believes that children should never be the victims of armed conflict. For those children who become victims of armed conflict, War Child believes that their security and access to quality health, educational and recreational facilities and services should still be a right. War Child also believes that children in conflict areas have a right to the love and care of their families and communities.

Nikki’s version of Dancing in the Street was featured on the Hand in Hand album, a CD of “fantastic fun and happy songs for children”, released on October 11, 2004. All the songs were donated by the artists, and $5 from every purchase was donated to War Child.

Cerebral Palsy Alliance

The Spastic Centre of New South Wales was founded on 30 January 1945, by a concerned group of 25 parents of children with cerebral palsy, under the leadership of Audrie and Neil McLeod. It was the first organisation of its type in the world for people with cerebral palsy. The name of the organisation was changed to Cerebral Palsy Alliance on the 8 February 2011 with the aim of achieving a stronger profile, clarity of purpose and an unambiguous focus on cerebral palsy.

Cerebral Palsy Alliance is an affiliate of UCP – United Cerebral Palsy. The mission of United Cerebral Palsy is to advance the independence, productivity and full citizenship of people with disabilities through an affiliate network.

Nikki appeared in a television commercial for The Spastic Centre of NSW, and attended the 14th Annual Italian Affair Gala Ball:

Jeans for Genes

Jeans for Genes Day is a national day when people wear their jeans to raise much-needed funds for research into birth defects and diseases such as cancer, epilepsy, and a range of genetic disorders. Every dollar raised on the day helps scientists at Children’s Medical Research Institute discover treatments and buy lasix cures, to give every child the opportunity to live a long and healthy life.

A pair of Nikki’s jeans, painted by David Boyd, sold at the Jeans for Genes Art 2001 Charity auction in Sydney, attracting the highest bid for the event of $22,500.
