Cowra Youth Council is making a difference, donating $700 worth of therapy resources for local children and handmade rugs for hospital patients. 💜🤩

Cowra Youth Council gives back to local children and hospital patients

Cowra Youth Council has donated $700 worth of toys and educational resources to Cowra Hospital’s paediatric speech pathology and occupational therapy outpatient services.

The donation was funded through proceeds from the popular Cowra Festival Duck Race, coordinated by Cowra Youth Council in partnership with Cowra SES.

Youth Council members also supported local businesses when selecting the resources, purchasing many of the items from Kendal Street Newsagency, Studio 36A and Australia Post.

During a recent visit to Cowra Hospital, members met Speech Therapist Kate Perry and Occupational Therapist Jayne Hook, who provided a tour of the new hospital facilities and shared insights into their roles.
