CEO'S MESSAGE 

Christmastime always brings with it a profound sense of possibilities and hope.

It is a joyous time of the year when family, friends and communities come together, and we reflect on the power of giving and connection. 

This time of the year inspires us to extend goodwill to those around us and reminds us that the true spirit of joy comes from selflessness. 

It is why this Christmas we are shedding light on sick children in hospital across Australia so that we can give the gift of hope. Sadly, many children won’t be home for the holidays this year. Instead of enjoying all the warmth and joy that Christmas at home brings, they will be spending the season away. Some will even be far away from their families and celebrations at home.

The Humpty team hears firsthand the enormity of grief felt by families and from the most incredible and passionate doctors who have had to fundraise, beg and plea to get the equipment THEY KNOW THEY NEED to save our children’s lives. Some even on Christmas Eve… 

In amongst all the heartbreak Humpty brings hope. Hope to families who need something desperately to grab onto. Humpty is that role for many– and you play that role for us. 

Together with our family of supporters and corporate partners we bring hope to sick children in hospital and their families. For more than 30 years Humpty has been committed to lifting spirits and to ensuring children in every corner of Australia have access to the healthcare they need, no matter where they live, and to help doctors and nurses care for the most vulnerable young Australians.

Partnering with Humpty makes things happen. We are in a truly unique position to connect our partners directly back into their communities with proven tangible outcomes. Together we keep families closer, we empower healthcare workers right across the country and bridge a gap between limited and stretched health budgets. Our longstanding partnerships all help Australian children benefit from the best healthcare and equipment faster. 

With your support, care that wasn’t possible before - becomes possible, and faster. 

We just have to look at what we were able to achieve with all your support in 2023 to know what is possible when we come together…

• $5.9 million donated towards medical equipment and health initiatives for sick kids.

• 517 pieces of medical equipment donated to hospitals nationwide.

• 85% of hospital requests successfully donated.

• 2/3 of equipment donated to our country and rural cousins. 

I look forward to sharing with you in early 2025 our year in review for 2024. I am sure the impact we have had together throughout the year will be just as meaningful. 

Humpty will continue delivering hope. But this can only be achieved by our generous Humpty family of Good Eggs and our valued corporate partners who all make our mission possible. 

Our goals are big – to support every public hospital in Australia. We are 2/3rds of the way there. 

Your generosity – no matter the size - can lift spirits and bring hope to children and families across Australia. 

Together, let’s be the light they need this holiday season.
