World Kindness Day

MEET AUSTRALIA'S KINDEST PERSON 2025

We're thrilled to announce that Tammy Robinson (QLD) has been crowned Australia’s Kindest Person for 2025!

Our judging panel, including three of our past national winners, carefully considered each of our remarkable State Finalists before selecting Tammy as our national winner.

In 2019, Tammy founded Formally Ever After QLD Inc, a community program that provides formal wear to young people, remote communities and other marginalised groups. The program has outfitted over 9,000 people for their chosen special occasion. To celebrate, Black Pepper will donate $5000 to Tammy’s charity Formally Ever After Qld Inc, plus a $1000 Black Pepper voucher to refresh her wardrobe this summer!

Heather Baird experienced many challenges living in orphanages and foster homes from the age of 2 ½. She remembers going to school in old clothes and wishing she could have nice things.

Heather had always wanted to help children in similar situations, so in 2014 she started A Better Life for Foster Kids which supports foster children and their carers by providing clothing, toiletries and other essentials, furniture, advice and referrals and funds for foster kids.
