Throughout the festive season, we were truly touched by the incredible outpouring of support from our community. From local families to generous businesses, the spirit of giving shone bright with over 100 donations.

We want to say a huge thank you to every single person and organisation who took the time to drop off a gift. Your kindness has brought so much joy to children and families at the hospital, making a real difference during what can be a very tough time.

A special thank you to the following organisations and groups for their generous support:

We would also like to extend our heartfelt thanks to BIG W for their incredible help sorting toy donations. Thanks to their support, our play therapists were able to easily select the perfect gift for each child, making every moment just that little bit brighter for our patients and their families.

Spending the holidays in the hospital is never easy. For many families, it can be a time of uncertainty and stress. However, thanks to your generosity, we were able to bring smiles to the faces of some of our bravest little patients.

Whether you donated a single toy or organised a toy drive at your workplace, your contribution has made a tangible impact.

We are so grateful for our ongoing partnership with BIG W, who work alongside us to support the health and wellbeing of our community. This year, there are wonderful opportunities for you to get involved and make a difference while you do your Christmas shopping.

When you visit your local BIG W this Christmas, you can help support families under the care of the Women’s and Children’s Health Network in two simple ways:

Charity Wrapping Paper
Purchase a roll of special-designed charity wrapping paper, featuring artwork by Hollee, a patient at the hospital. At just $5 a roll, it’s a wonderful way to make your gifts look extra special while giving back.

$2 Festive Tokens
As you head through the checkout, you can also purchase a $2 festive token. You can choose to take your token home to hang on your tree or add it to the special display in-store, contributing to a growing community collection.

When you purchase charity wrapping paper or festive tokens at South Australian BIG W stores, 100% of proceeds go directly to supporting the work of the WCH Foundation.

Thank you to BIG W and their incredible community for your continued generosity. Your support helps us enhance the patient care experience for countless children and their families.
