Pubs With Purpose 2026

We've created this page because we want to make a difference to the lives of sick kids.

The Good Friday Appeal relies on the support of the community to raise funds to ensure that The Royal Children's Hospital is able to continue to provide world class care to patients and their families. From 2024 to 2025 at The Royal Children's Hospital: 85,415 patients presented to the Emergency Department, 53,450 children and young people were admitted to a ward, 182,204 children and young people attended an ambulatory appointment, and 15,106 patients underwent surgery. So please help by giving whatever you are able to this fundraiser and help spread the word by sharing this page with your friends, family and networks. Thank you for your generosity, it means a lot!

The George Hotel Good Friday Appeal Fundraiser

In 1946, the very first GFA Collection Container at the first pub was placed right here on our counter at The George Hotel. This year marks 80 years since we first fundraised for the Good Friday Appeal and in 2026 we will be celebrating this major milestone by fundraising in the lead up to Good Friday, to help sick kids and their families at The Royal Children's Hospital.
