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

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

We run a unique event on the Thursday ( Good Friday eve) where we rattle the roof!! For the kids!! Our bar has a tin shed like canopy with gutters and all. We throw our loose change on the roof and it slides down to the gutters (quite a few cheeky notes too I might add ;) and we feel a little bit better every time we do it. We do this over the year and then come together on the Thursday eve and have a night celebrating community with live music, auctions and more... one year we auctioned off an Easter egg for $400. Which all went to RCH. 
With love, from the Allies Hotel community.
