Our Paediatric Ward has received a wonderful donation of LEGO sets thanks to Fairy Bricks (a UK-based charity) and Bricks on the Border Inc here in our region.

These sets are already bringing smiles to young patients and their families. Play is such an important part of a child’s time in hospital – it offers comfort, distraction and can even support treatment through play-based activities. Having fresh, engaging toys on hand helps make the experience a little less overwhelming and a lot more joyful.

We’re incredibly grateful to Fairy Bricks for including NHW in their global program, and to Bricks on the Border for helping bring these donations to children across regional Australia. Their generosity means our young patients have more opportunities to play, create and feel at ease during their stay. A very big thank you to both organisations for supporting the wellbeing of children in our care.

Pictured: Executive Director People and Corporate Operations, Kim Bennetts, Executive Director Finance and Performance, Andrew Nitschke, and members of the Paediatric Team with some of the new LEGO sets.
