Thanks to your generosity, Ronald McDonald House Charities Greater Western Sydney supported over 3,500 families in 2024 – 40% more than the previous year. Our Hospitality Carts now operate five days a week at both Campbelltown and Nepean Hospitals, offering comfort and relief to nearly 2,000 families.
Our Day Pass Program also runs five days a week, supporting paediatric patient families of The Children’s Hospital at Westmead, by providing them with meals and access to our ground floor facilities and support.
