\"Some

Some members of TPCH Executive Leadership Team at Giving Day<\/p><\/div>\n

generous supporters, and volunteers, along with the hospital teams who rolled up their sleeves to drum up donations. We are also so grateful to everyone who joined in activities including the obvious favourite – the Puppy Patting Pen.

The funds raised this year will be used to support a range of vital, patient-centred projects within TPCH\u2019s Children\u2019s Emergency Department and Children\u2019s Ward including the reinstatement and refreshment of the children\u2019s retreat space in the Paediatric Ward, as well as additional sensory resources for the broader service.

A huge thanks to Steve Francia and his team at the Common Good for their efforts in coordinating such a successful Giving Day event that will help us deliver initiatives to improve the experience of our smallest patients.<\/p>\n

Congratulations<\/span>\u00a0again to all of our winners, and thank you to everyone who helped make TPCH Week a great success.<\/p>\n<\/div>
