For many Wellington families in need, the simple act of having warm pyjamas and heating their home is more than they can afford. A warm pair of pyjamas, to keep our children warm at night, can help prevent them from being admitted to hospital this winter.
Community support has enabled the Foundation to fund medical equipment, projects and other patient care items that have helped thousands of people in the Greater Wellington Region receive better healthcare.
We get no funding from the Government. Our mission is to fundraise for extra projects that aren’t Government funded.

Help us fund $6 million for a modern fit-out and latest state of the art equipment for our new children's hospital.
