Recently, we had the privilege of hosting a truly special event for our Golden Hearts Bequest Society members at the Women’s & Children’s Hospital Foundation ‘Laklinyeri’ Beach House, located within the picturesque Encounter Lakes in Victor Harbor.
The Laklinyeri Beach House, partly funded through bequests, serves as a place of solace for families with children who have complex medical needs, are in palliative care, or families who are recently bereaved. Purpose-built for comfort and care, The Beach House is designed with the unique needs of each family in mind.
For many members of the Golden Hearts Bequest Society, the visit was an emotional and inspiring experience, shedding light on the true impact their support has on these families.
The morning started with a guided tour of the Beach House, followed by meaningful conversations over lunch.
A highlight of the day was the panel presentation lead by Dr. Chelsea Mauch, Head of Programs and Impact at the WCH Foundation. Chelsea was joined by Dimi Patrinos, Psychosocial Clinical Lead for Paediatric Palliative Care Services at the Women’s and Children’s Health Network (WCHN), and Carolyn Groocock, Senior Art Therapist and grief and loss program facilitator. Their insights into the critical support and services provided to families was truly moving and gave our members a deeper understanding of how families are positively impacted through their support of the WCH Foundation.
A heartfelt thank you to all of our Golden Hearts Bequest Society members for their continued support.
