Each year, we’re grateful to receive generous offers of gifts for patients at The Royal Children’s Hospital (RCH) at Christmas time. Thankfully we have a wonderful partnership with Kmart and the Pratt Foundation to provide gifts for patients over the festive season, and as such, we are unable to accept gifts from the community.
We are excited to partner with Variety – the Children’s Charity, for any supporters wishing to donate gifts this Christmas.
Variety supports kids in need, and has changed the lives of thousands of children across Australia since they were established here 50 years ago. In addition to providing gifts to Victorian children who may be living with a disability, illness or facing financial difficulties over Christmas, they also support the community through the provision of grants for a range of equipment such as wheelchairs or all-ability playgrounds to provide practical help to kids, schools and organisations, and run programs to educate and empower kids that are falling through the cracks and give scholarships to encourage the talents of kids living with disability or experiencing disadvantage.
Any gift over $30 can be accepted via Variety, with in demand items including iPads, Lego, Duplo and sensory toys. Unfortunately, no second hand or faulty items can be accepted.
