Gift wrapping for a great cause
Last week, we had the pleasure of hosting friends from the Little Wings team. It was an inspiring morning learning more about their missions, understanding the impact they have on our local communities and all the families whose lives have been touched by the important work Little Wings do every day.
Little Wings is an incredible charity organisation that relies on a dedicated team of volunteer pilots and drivers who provide free air and ground transport to seriously ill children living in regional and remote NSW. This critical service allows children to access lifesaving healthcare at locations such as John Hunter Hospital. The work they do is life-changing to Australian families, minimising the physical, emotional and financial strain that often accompany critical medical treatment.
The team brought in boxes overflowing with fun little trinkets and wrapping supplies, all donated through one of their charity partners. Each of these gifts will be finding a new home with a child who utilises the Little Wings services. Knowing that these little gifts might help bring a moment of joy during challenging times was truly fulfilling for our team as we worked away. It didn’t take long for the whole HHI team to be immersed in cutting and wrapping hundreds of gifts while learning more about the different Little Wings initiatives to help provide better access to healthcare for regional communities.
Our support for Little Wings is an integral part of our commitment to community well-being. Through our partnership, we help fund a portion of their vital missions, enabling them to continue their essential work. We are also so proud to see our wonderful team members getting directly involved to support this incredible organisation to make a difference together!
Want to get involved?
Just like health insurance, Little Wings provide a service that we all hope never to need but are thankful it exists if we do. In addition to HHI directly funding some of the Little Wings air missions, we will also match every HHI member donation of $110, dollar for dollar to support the Little Wings ground missions.
Little Wings are a registered charity, and any donations made over $2 are tax-deductible. The Little Wings team are always open to additional volunteers and have many ways to get involved from piloting and driving to giving a helping hand at fundraising events.
