Losing a loved one is one of the most heartbreaking experiences a family can face, and the grief of losing a child is unimaginable.
Each year, around 80 families in South Australia endure this profound loss. For many, the pain is compounded by feelings of isolation and emptiness.
One mother shared, “It felt like no-one understood us anymore. Nobody knew how to speak to us. We felt completely alone.” That’s why we`re proud to support the annual Family Gathering event.
This special day allows bereaved families to come together and celebrate the lives of their children, with the support of grief professionals.
Dimi Patrinos, Grief and Loss Coordinator at the Women’s and Children’s Hospital, explains, “The Family Gathering event is so valuable for families grieving the loss of a child. It isn’t about the age of the child or the circumstances of their death, it’s about families knowing they are not alone in their grief.”
Help us continue to provide this vital support for families navigating grief. Support the WCH Foundation by donating today at wchfoundation.org.au/donate or through the link in our bio.

We`re thrilled to work with our long-time partner, SA Power Networks Employee Foundation to arrange a working bee at the Beach House in Victor Harbor with a group of SAPN employees 🏡🏖️🛠️
This is the second year we’ve had the pleasure of welcoming their incredible team, and we’re always blown away by their dedication, expertise, and enthusiasm for rolling up their sleeves to tackle some truly skilled projects.
The team worked tirelessly to fix and service the bikes, inspect our kayaks, deep clean the BBQ, sand and repaint the bridge in the yard, install a hose reel, pressure wash the door frames and sidewalks, and even super clean all the windows, including the tricky high ones!
At the end of the day, we had the chance to share some of the heartfelt stories from Beach House families, memories from the guest book, and how the work they did will make a lasting impact on every family who stays here. Hearing how proud they were to work for a company that prioritises supporting their community was truly uplifting.
Our approach to Corporate Partnerships is one of multi-faceted engagement, and a Beach House working bee is just one of the engagement opportunities available to our strongest corporate partners. We can facilitate your company`s impact in the community; Visit our website and complete the contact form to learn more: https://wchfoundation.org.au/corporate-partnerships/ or use the link in our bio.
