The Women’s & Children’s Hospital Foundation (WCH Foundation) is transforming the playground at the Women’s and Children’s Hospital, and they need our help to make it happen!
This is the biggest change made to the playground in over a decade. And you can be a part of it.
For nearly 20 years, the current playground has provided children and families with a welcome break and essential retreat during often long and stressful hospital visits. But it no longer meets the needs of the kids who rely on it.
This exciting redevelopment will create a space that is more inclusive, more accessible, and purpose-built for therapy and recovery through play. With tailored equipment for children of all abilities, the new playground will be a place where kids can play, heal, and thrive.
With a fundraising goal of $200,000, the WCH Foundation is calling on the community to help bring this vision to life.
This is your opportunity to make a real difference. Play your part and donate today at wchfoundation.org.au/play
