Previous Recipients

Some of our previous grant recipients have shared their amazing stories and the lasting impact they are having to improve mental health in the community.

Camp Quality

Camp Quality’s Cancer Education Program is a puppet show that travels to schools and Early Learning Centres (ELC’s) busts the myths about cancer, teaching kids that cancer is not contagious, and how to be a good friend. The program shines light on the physical and mental health impact of the cancer journey, and the whole school becomes better equipped to deal with cancer in their families and community.

THE ROYAL WOMENS HOSPITAL – Hidden Disabilities Sunflower Program
