Donna’s taking on new heights for the Spring Challenge! 🌻🥾
This October, Donna, our Bequest Manager, is hiking up One Tree Hill eight times to support families facing the heartbreak of losing a child.
"Hiking One Tree Hill eight times is my way of showing care and solidarity for families during such a difficult time. Every step feels like I’m doing something that matters," shares Donna.
We’re so proud of Donna for stepping up and making a difference 💛 You can get involved and support Donna`s challenge via the link in our bio or https://fundraise.wchfoundation.org.au/event/spring/home

Happy Play Therapy Day! 🧩🛝🎨
Today, we celebrated the incredible work of our Play Therapy Team at the Women’s and Children’s Hospital (WCH), and what a fun-filled day it was!
Play Therapy is so much more than just fun and games, it provides emotional support for patients and families, helps children feel safe, and provides distraction to minimise stress, fear, and anxiety.
Thanks to the amazing Play Therapists for creating such a fun day for patients and families!
The Play Therapy Program is proudly supported by the WCH Foundation.

Across the state, the Paediatric Palliative Care Service supports families with children who have life-limiting illnesses. One of those families is Aidan’s. Living with a neurodegenerative disorder, Aidan from Willaston, recently enjoyed a special holiday with his family at our Laklinyeri Beach House.
For Aidan’s mum, Kristy, the experience meant so much. “Aidan is non-verbal and uses a wheelchair. The Beach House had everything to accommodate his needs,” she shares. “He loves animals and as part of our stay we were able to visit the local wildlife park which was a great family activity for us,” she continues.
Thanks to the generosity of our supporters, more families like Aidan’s can make precious family memories at the Beach House.
