Celebrating 25 years of Expressions
I’m thrilled and deeply grateful to be celebrating 25 wonderful years of Expressions, a journey that simply wouldn’t have been possible without the love and support of my family, loyal staff, generous suppliers, and of course, our incredible clients.
What began as a small idea to capture children’s creativity has become one of Australia’s most loved and trusted fundraising businesses. From our first few fundraising projects in 1998 to now supporting thousands of school fundraisers, community fundraising events, and childcare fundraising initiatives, it’s been so nice to support schools, families, and clubs on their fundraising journey.
This business has been fulfilling, exciting, and at times, challenging but always rewarding. And I wouldn’t have it any other way.
To my hardworking team: thank you. Your dedication, passion, and creativity are the heart of this company. And to our clients, past and present, thank you for choosing Expressions as your fundraising supplier. Whether you’re running a school fundraising event, a sports club fundraiser, or exploring new online fundraising ideas, we’re proud to support your goals.
Our fundraising products, printed tea towels, bags, and aprons, now live in homes and keepsake boxes in every corner of Australia and beyond. What makes them so special is their connection to community and memory. That’s the essence of what we do.
From school fundraising classics like class tea towels to unique centenary celebration fundraisers and childcare keepsakes, each design tells a story. It’s amazing to see how children’s self-portraits, class lists, handprints, and school logos are transformed into beautiful, lasting mementos.
A big shout-out to our retail, promotional, and event clients, too. You continue to wow us with your custom designs. Whether it’s a one-off community event, a thoughtful gift idea, or part of your custom branded merchandise, we’re honoured to bring your artwork to life.
At Expressions, we believe in ethical fundraising practices. Our products are made using GOTS-certified organic cotton and solvent-free, eco-friendly inks.
Thank you for being part of our story. Your creativity, loyalty, and trust over the past 25 years have allowed us to grow and give back, in meaningful ways.
Here’s to the next 25 years of colourful artwork, cherished keepsakes, and successful fundraisers that make a genuine impact.
Warmly,
Emma
