The Good Friday Appeal, the largest fundraising contributor for The Royal Children’s Hospital Melbourne (RCH), is gearing up for another remarkable year of community support and generosity.

Victorians have proven that 10 cents can create a lot of change, raising $64,000 for the Good Friday Appeal by returning more than half a million drink containers and generously donating their refunds to the cause.

Woolworths fundraises all year round for the Appeal through donations at checkout and other activities and Woolies has generously kicked off fundraising for 2025 with an amazing donation of $350,000.

Type 1 diabetes is diagnosed in two to three children per week at The Royal Children’s Hospital (RCH) and is currently incurable. However, thanks to the support of the Good Friday Appeal, a science and research program conducted by the Murdoch Children’s Research Institute (MCRI) and the RCH is offering new hope. 

Over the past 10 unforgettable, fun-filled years, Kids Day Out for the Good Friday Appeal at Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre (MCEC) has grown into a beloved family tradition.
