Charity of the month – June – Very Special Kids

At Very Special Kids, we believe all children and young people have the right to quality of life, no matter how long or short their life may be.

Every child’s experience with a life-limiting condition is unique, and so is our approach.

Our services span the physical, mental and emotional needs of the children and young people in our care, and their families, so they are always supported in the way they need it most.

The first of its kind in Australia, Very Special Kids House was the vision of our patron and first employee, Sister Margaret Noone. After seeing firsthand the benefits of dedicated children’s hospices in the United Kingdom, Margaret vowed to bring the same level of care to Australia. To this day it remains Victoria’s only children’s hospice.
