Last Friday, our valuable supporters joined us for a very special ladies lunch!

Thank you to our MC Heidi Murphy, DJ Miss Dee and Saxophonist Justin Hall for keeping everyone entertained, and very special mum, Margie, for generously sharing her family's connection with Very Special Kids 💕

This event wouldn’t have been possible without our event sponsors Royal South Yarra Lawn Tennis Club and Lowe Living and everyone who attended and supported the event. Thanks to events like this, the very best holistic children’s palliative care can continue to be provided to Victorian families at no cost.

Learn more about the exciting day and the very special people who made this possible in our bio.

In honour of Harmony Week, our very special staff

In honour of Harmony Week, our very special staff joined together for a shared lunch, with everyone bringing a dish that represents and celebrates their cultural background.
Harmony Week aims to foster inclusiveness, respect and belonging for all Australians, celebrating our cultural and linguistic differences.

At Very Special Kids, we welcome people of all backgrounds and respect that the families we support are different in many ways. Every day we provide support to our diverse community, ensuring every child receives the best quality of life, no matter how long or short their life may be.🧡

Today we hosted a very special ladies’ lunch ❤

Today we hosted a very special ladies’ lunch ❤️

Days like this raise vital funds for children like 11-year-old Mia, who is one of the very special kids we support. We were honoured to be joined at the lunch by her mum Margie, who kindly shared her family's journey and experience with us.

Margie shares, “Very Special Kids means reliability, whether I need them for an emergency or whether it's a scheduled respite. Their commitment to excellence and the support not only for me, but also my family is something that we really need.

“Thank you, Very Special Kids, for making a difference for my life, my family's life, for us in disability land. And most importantly, I thank you ladies for being here today and having your generous spirit to soar into our lives.”

Resident music therapist, Helena, created musical

Resident music therapist, Helena, created musical memories with some very special children at Lord Somers Camp! 🎵

The instruments provided endless entertainment, helping children of all ages and abilities explore their fine motor skills, while creating loud and wonderful music together.

Helena shares, “Being able to explore good quality instruments enhances the experience of music making for the very special kids in our care. We'd like to say a big thank you to the Lily Calvert Foundation and Tiny Tones for their generous donation.”

This very special partnership was formed thanks to our connection with bereaved mum, Priyanka, whose daughter Lily was supported by Very Special Kids. Instruments include the pat bell shelf, wooden xylophone and shaker and bells from “Lily’s Music Therapy Kit.”

Thank you to everyone who joined our very special golf day and helped us raise vital funds to improve the quality of life of children and young people with life-limiting conditions, and their families.

We were honoured to have very special sibling Bailey and his mum Ros, join the lunch to share their family's story and treasured memories of sister and daughter, Coco.

Bailey shared, “One of life's most honoring and most harrowing places to be is determining the wishes of a dying child with no voice, and this is where Very Special Kids entered our lives. They coached, they championed, they supported, they loved, they listened, they sat, and they breathed with us.”

A big thank you to all our generous attendees, supporters, speakers and volunteers who made this day possible. Read more in our bio.
