Our volunteer led program in Dubbo was established in 2024 and so far we have supported over 1360 families with this vital service.
We are excited to launch the same program in Bathurst Hospital in early 2026 to help us support more families in the Central West region when they need it most.
The bedside service delivers essential and comfort items such as toiletries and refreshments as well as activity books, hand knitted blankets, hand knitted teddies, reading books, games and snacks to families. The service is run most days and is a comfort to the children and carers in their time of need.
At the start of each month a ‘Wishlist’ of donated non-perishable goods is put out to our community to supplement the support that we receive from our National Corporate Partners.
Our many Hospitality Carts across Australia are packed with essential items and other goodies to keep children entertained, as well as snacks and hygiene products for parents and loved ones. The Cart rolls right outside the hospital ward, bringing treats and special surprises.
Whether it be a boredom buster or special surprise, our Carts are stocked by donations and run by volunteers, meaning there is no cost to families.
Our Hospitality Cart at both Dubbo and Bathurst Hospitals are a Volunteer led program and we are always looking for incredible people to join our team who provide this service.
Our Volunteers work together to organise the store room, stock the cart and do the rounds of the Paediatric Wards and Special Care Nursery.

Parents don’t know when their children will need medical help. But they should know they can always access the care they need. And with your help, we can support them all throughout their journey.
