Standing Strong with Bear Cottage

Throughout 2025, the generosity of our community resulted in a donation of $7,192 to Sydney Children’s Hospital Bear Cottage, supporting their essential work in caring for children with life-limiting conditions.

Over the year, community members contributed by dropping coins into donation fountains, while our team actively participated in the Return and Earn initiative—collecting bottles and cans to redeem for charitable funds. These ongoing efforts, driven by both staff and community engagement, reflect our shared commitment to supporting local causes that make a meaningful impact.

Bear Cottage is NSW’s only dedicated children’s hospice, providing palliative care, respite, and holistic support to children and their families during some of the most challenging times of their lives.

The funds raised will help Bear Cottage continue to offer vital services, including medical support, family accommodation, counselling, and recreational programs designed to bring moments of comfort and joy to young patients.

Every coin donated and every bottle returned represents an act of kindness. Together, our community has made a significant contribution to supporting families who need it most.

We extend heartfelt thanks to everyone who contributed throughout the year, demonstrating the true power of compassion, collaboration, and community spirit.
