National Pyjama Day
WHO IS THE PYJAMA FOUNDATION?
The Pyjama Foundation are an organisation who support children in OOHC (out of home care) through early intervention and support and mentoring. They connect foster children with ‘Pyjama Angels’.
Pyjama Angels are volunteers who are screened, trained, recruited and matched with a child in foster care to provide consistent love and support for children. Pyjama Angels give foster children the chance to find their wings and reach their life potential, despite a fragile start.
