Get involved in Superhero Week 2026 and support
Bear Cottage!
Some superheroes wear capes.
Others show their strength through courage, kindness and resilience every single day.
This year, we’re calling on everyday heroes - students, teachers, school communities, organisations, workplaces, community groups and individuals - to come together and make a difference.
Superhero Week runs from 26 July – 1 August 2026, but there’s no strict schedule - if you can’t participate within those dates, our superheroes will be making a difference from April through to October! It’s more just an opportunity to create moments of kindness, generosity and connection whenever it suits you.
Whether you’re a first-time fundraiser, a seasoned supporter, or already championing causes in your school or organisation, every contribution - big or small - has a meaningful impact.
Together, we can show the true power of community and achieve something extraordinary.

Meet our young superheroes for 2026!
Meet our young superheroes for 2026! These incredible children are the heart of our mission.
Bonnie is our “good time girl.”
She lights up a room, loves music and has the cutest little laugh that comes straight from the heart.
“Bonnie’s superhero powers aren’t about flying or super strength – they’re about keeping us present. She reminds us every day what truly matters: joy, connection, to slow down and appreciate the little, magical moments.”
Ralph’s superhero power is giggle power.
His infectious laugh is enough to make anyone smile. Whether it’s interacting with his siblings or friends, hearing a funny noise, playing with his favourite crinkle book, having a cuddle or listening to music, Ralph is always giggling and having fun.
Need some inspiration for your activity?
Taking part is simple, flexible and fun. You can create your own superhero moment whenever it suits you.
