Ballarat Grammar Boarding

Good Friday Appeal 2026

Our Story

This is our second year of fundraising for this great cause. It all began because in our boarding house of Wigan our head of house and his family have been greatly supported by the amazing Royal Children's Hospital, so we wanted to support them and the Hospital because of the great things they have done. The fundraising had such an impact on everyone that we have decided to gather the wider boarding community to work together and raise as much money as possible for this great cause.

The Good Friday Appeal has been raising funds for sick kids and their families at The Royal Childrenโ€™s Hospital (RCH) for 95 years.

Through the generosity of the community, the RCH continues to deliver worldโ€‘class, comprehensive care.

Every dollar donated supports:

  • Groundโ€‘breaking research
  • Stateโ€‘ofโ€‘theโ€‘art equipment
  • Training and unique patientโ€‘centred care programs

In just one year (2024โ€“2025), hundreds of thousands of kids were cared for:

  • 85,415 appointments for urgent and essential care in the Emergency Department
  • 53,450 admissions to a ward, where children and young people received expert, compassionate care
  • 15,106 surgeries, paving the way for brighter futures
  • An incredible 456,000 outpatients seen โ€” thatโ€™s an average of 1,250 appointments a day

By supporting this fundraiser, you are part of the impact, helping children live their best possible lives.

Please help make a difference and share this page with your friends, families, and networks.

Thank you for giving for the kids.

with heart
