Last week, Brighter Lives, North Queensland’s beloved charity, successfully hosted its annual Giving Day, rallying the local community to raise vital funds for the Townsville Hospital and Health Service. Established in 1989 as the Townsville Hospital Foundation, Brighter Lives has evolved into the official partner charity for the region's health services, now supporting not only the Townsville University Hospital but also 18 public hospitals and two residential aged care facilities.
This year’s Giving Day saw dedicated volunteers stationed at Dal Santo's Deli in Ayr and Home Hill News and Coffee in Home Hill, selling raffle tickets from 8am to 2pm.
The event brought together locals eager to give back, reflecting the charity’s core philosophy: “Locals Supporting Locals.” Every dollar raised will directly benefit patients, visitors, and staff at the Home Hill and Ayr hospitals, ensuring that funds remain within the community.
Brighter Lives is committed to funding essential equipment and enhancing hospital projects, ensuring North Queenslanders receive world-class healthcare close to home. With a region spanning Townsville, Magnetic Island, Ingham, Palm Island, Burdekin, Charters Towers, Hughenden, Richmond, and Cardwell, the impact of Giving Day resonates deeply within the community. As we reflect on the success of this year’s event, Brighter Lives extends heartfelt gratitude to all who participated, demonstrating the incredible spirit of giving that defines North Queensland.
