GIVE BIG to care for the hospital that cares for you
now and your gift will be MATCHED!
A BIG THANK YOU!
TOGETHER, WE RAISED $205,150!
What an incredible result for The Prince Charles Hospital's sixth annual Giving Day!
Thanks to the generosity of our community, hospital staff, corporate partners and supporters, The Common Good is excited to announce that together we've raised an amazing $205,150 to help make a meaningful difference for patients and families.
These funds will help provide Comfort Packs with everyday essentials and thoughtful items for vulnerable patients who arrive at hospital without their belongings, alongside a Laughter Care pilot program using humour, music and storytelling to support the emotional wellbeing and connection of older patients.
A special thank you to our Giving Day Community Ambassador, Big Jon, for sharing his story and helping inspire others to GIVE BIG.
And to everyone who donated, volunteered, shared our messages or helped make Giving Day BIGGER than ever – THANK YOU!
Together, we're helping care for the hospital that cares for our community.
Thank you to our generous Matched Giving partners

Your gift can help researchers looking to improve treatments for heart and lung diseases and conditions associated with mental health and ageing.
Bring more joy and laughter
$289 = $578
You can support evidence-based therapies like Laughter Care, helping older patients feel connected, valued and less alone during their hospital stay.
