We recognise that every family’s story is unique. When asking our donors for funds for complex medical equipment, ground-breaking research, world class expertise and training and positive patient experiences, hearing the stories of families who are benefitting is a very powerful tool. By sharing your story you can help us to:

• Provide real examples of how the money we raise is put to use to encourage further corporate and community support for WA’s world class paediatric hospital.
• Help other families who are undergoing medical issues who may feel alone and afraid of what the future may hold.

What does being an Ambassador involve?

We are mindful of the time pressures for families – especially those facing medical challenges with their children. You can be involved in as much or as little as you like!

We would love to have a chat about your family’s journey so we can tell your story. Personal photos of your child’s journey to accompany your story are very powerful, so we may ask you for some.

We may also organise a professional photographer and/or videographer to take some beautiful pictures or video of your child and family to use with the story. During this photo/video shoot, we may ask you to interact with your clinicians or record your child undergoing treatment here in the hospital.

See examples below of the type of images and stories that we use. 

There are a range of platforms that stories can be used for, including fundraising campaigns and proposals, media, the Foundation website, Annual Report, social media, marketing collateral (such as posters), and profiles for specific pieces of equipment.

You may be asked to speak at events, be an Ambassador spokesperson for an event or appeal or appear on marketing collateral as the face/story of a Foundation campaign.
