Keeping the legacy of the historic Big Brother Movement (BBM) alive
By connecting Little Brothers from the BBM youth migration Scheme, and investing in future leaders through our Global Footprints Scholarship Program.
“I was seventeen years old and off to Australia with the Big Brother Movement, a scheme that sponsored youth migration from Britain to Australia. Australia was in need of strong and willing young men seeking adventure and a new life away from a country ravaged by war”
— Kenneth Gemmell, BBM Little Brother
Celebrating Courage, Care and Connection.
For a century, BBM has been a catalyst for change and opportunity, opening doors for young people to explore the world and make their mark.
It began as Australia’s most successful migration program for young men moving from the UK to Australia, the Big Brother Movement.
Today, built on this legacy, BBM continues to empower young people to venture overseas for work experience through our Global Footprints Scholarships program.
