Our new KidsWish van has officially hit the road 🚐

This accessible vehicle was made possible thanks to a $50,000 NSW Community Building Partnership grant, secured with the support of Anna Watson MP, alongside funds raised through our incredible Great Illawarra Walk Childrens Charity community!

The van will help children and young people with disability or illness access KidsWish programs, activities and experiences across the Illawarra, creating more opportunities to build friendships, grow in confidence and create lasting memories 🙌

And what makes it even more special? Seeing some familiar KidsWish faces featured on the van! These young people have been part of our community for years, and it's so wonderful to see how much they've grown along the way 💜💜

A huge thank you to everyone who helped make this possible.
