NSLHD Staff Spread Christmas Cheer Staff came together to support the annual Christmas with Dignity campaign, donating essential items to people at risk of or experiencing homelessness. Teams from Hornsby, Mona Vale, Royal North Shore hospitals and the NSLHD executive unit contributed non-perishable food, new clothing and Christmas gifts to the campaign. Across the district, staff donated over half a tonne of essential items, which were used to assemble Christmas hampers for local community members. Dignity, one of NSLHD’s official workplace giving partners, coordinated the campaign, ensuring donations reached those who need them most. The campaign supports Dignity’s Food Relief program, which operates across NSLHD local government areas including Hornsby, Ku-ring-gai, Northern Beaches, Lane Cove, North Sydney, Mosman, Willoughby, Ryde and Hunters Hill. The program provides meals and connections into services that help prevent homelessness, reaching an estimated 1,500 people. Sherin Fishwick, partnerships manager at Dignity, outlined the difference these donations make. “The generosity of NSLHD staff allows us to provide Christmas hampers filled with essentials and gifts, helping people doing it tough and supporting our work throughout the year,” she said. “Every contribution makes a real difference to people in the community.” Between July and December 2025, Dignity delivered 7,532 meals, 248 hampers and over 1,080 kilograms of fresh food, working in partnership with Dom’s Place in Hornsby and Link Wentworth in West Ryde.
