Community fundraising
This year, our community fundraisers raised a combined total of $79,640 which demonstrated the dedication of our active community of fundraisers and fundraising groups across the NSLHD and beyond. • Mt Colah Preschool raised $18,000 for the paediatric ward at Hornsby Ku-ring-gai Hospital in their annual walkathon - an idea borne by the centre director to educate and encourage children to give back. • ‘The Speedy Spinals’ ran a half marathon and raised $5,000 for the Spinal Cord Injury Unit at Royal North Shore Hospital. • ‘The Knitters & Natters of Watermark’ raised over $8,000 for the Adolescent and Young Adult Hospice in Manly by creating knitted and crocheted goods to sell at various fundraisers. Their contributions have been invaluable over the years. These dedicated individuals consistently go the extra mile, and their fundraising efforts significantly contribute to our achievements.
“Its such a great feeling to have raised so much and we are already looking forward to our next fundraising adventure.”

Hospital Helping Hands
Our regular givers are a dedicated group of passionate individuals who choose to support our hospitals or medical researchers on an ongoing basis. In their inaugural year, our Hospital Helping Hands provided the NORTH Foundation with reliable and sustainable funding and invested into areas like pancreatic cancer research and haematology. Consistent donations help the NORTH Foundation and the NSLHD effectively plan for the future. Their support provides our healthcare teams and researchers with confidence as they undertake their vital work and rely on scheduled funding.
