What We Do
Children are the inspiration behind Little Heroes Foundation and as a result we are constantly considering projects towards which we are able to direct our funding. Sporting champions are the driving force behind our fundraising activities; working tirelessly to provide time, signature memorabilia and personal appearances for each and every fundraising event on our calendar.
Our funding programs are directed primarily to urgently needed medical facilities and treatment equipment, and 'Life After Diagnosis' child and family support programs relative to childhood cancer and serious illness.
We have contributed over $13 million dollars to the Women's & Children's Hospital and other funding programs to make a genuine and enduring contribution to a more fulfilling life for children living with cancer and serious illness.
Our latest fundraising efforts have been focused primarily on allocating $2 million towards the establishment of a new single point of service centre - Haematology & Oncology Centre - and $1 million towards a new MRI unit at the Women's & Children's Hospital.
The funds we raise are also directed towards the national development and delivery of our ChildFamilyCare program which aims to support children and families living with cancer and serious illness by providing them with a variety of services and programs. You can find out more about these services here.
Our Vision is for diagnosed children to rediscover and enjoy their irrepressible enthusiasm for life.
Our Mission is to identify and support funding projects; provide information and advice; recommend service providers; advocate for individual needs; partner other children's charities; support them and their families from diagnosis, throughout treatment and beyond; so that every critically ill child is treated with utmost respect and provided with the very best care.
