m.a.d mentions

We’ll keep you posted when other people are talking about the way m.a.d.woman is making a difference in the environment, community and to the lives of those who need support.

Due to copyright laws, we won't always be able to show you coverage we or our clients or programs and campaigns receive. What we can tell you is that recently we have popped up in print, on radio and on television.

You might have seen us in Melbourne's mX on Monday 31 March, or read about us in the Sunday Magazine during Easter weekend.

Adelaide listeners tuned in to hear m.a.d.woman Founder Melina Schamroth at the end of March as well.  

Leader Newspapers ran an article in May about Melina from m.a.d.woman being a guest speaker for a City of Kingston/Westpac businesswomen's lunch.

Critters with a Cause

While most of us are afraid of finding something creepy crawly in our homes, the creatures of the Critter Collection are the type of critters you'll want to invite into your room. 

Not only will these Australian designed and made Critters  brighten rooms but part-proceeds of sales of these colourful characters will go toward funding special pictorial-based education programs to help give autistic kids a voice (through a special fund within the m.a.d.woman foundation). Click here to Buy Now.

The Critter Collection by Li'l El is designed by Melbourne mother Ellen Naismith whose five-year-old daughter Jessica has autism. You can read more about Jessie's story here.

Single Volunteers - singles events

We already know that every single volunteer can make a difference. We also know that in this day and age it can sometimes be hard to meet like-minded people without going to bars or going online.

With that in mind, m.a.d.woman created the Single Volunteers program and we are planning some exciting new events where every SINGLE volunteer can make a difference, have an opportunity to meet new people - and maybe find something more!
