Mandalay ELC Rainbow Week

Good Friday Appeal 2026

Give for the kids!

At our childcare service, we believe that caring for children goes beyond the walls of our centres—it extends into the wider community. This year, we are proud to support the Good Friday Appeal, a cause that holds a special place in the hearts of many Australian families.

The Good Friday Appeal is dedicated to raising vital funds to support children in need of life-saving care, treatment, and equipment. As a service committed to nurturing young lives, we feel deeply connected to this mission. Every child deserves the opportunity to grow, thrive, and receive the best possible care, and this appeal helps make that a reality for so many families including many of own families. Every year Mandalay ELC celebrate rainbow week in remembrance of Mia who's beautiful light brought joy to many across our service. 

Please donate generously and help us reach our target. Let's do something GOOD for the kids.

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

Through the generosity of the community, the RCH continues to deliver world‑class, comprehensive care.

Every dollar donated supports:

  • Ground‑breaking research
  • State‑of‑the‑art equipment
  • Training and unique patient‑centred care programs

In just one year (2024–2025), 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 — that’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.
