Annual and Impact Reports

2022-2023

Transforming the lives of sick and injured children through clinical excellence, patient experience and cutting-edge research is why we exist. As we strive to create the biggest possible impact, we simply could not achieve these life-changing results without you. 

Support of any kind helps bring us closer than ever before to making our mission – healthy kids, whatever it takes – a reality. Whether you’ve hosted a fundraising event, left a lasting legacy as a gift in Will, donated your time by volunteering, got involved through one of our major appeals, supported us through workplace giving, or kindly provided gift-in-kind, you’re helping to make a tangible difference to the lives of sick kids and their families.  

Thanks to you - our generous donors, volunteers, fundraisers and partners - we can provide all children with access to the best healthcare, whenever and wherever they need it.
