Cottage by the Sea’s annual Giving Day is nearly here, with the children’s charity matching and doubling every dollar donated for one day only.
The day will be held on Tuesday, March 4, from 9am to 9pm to fundraise for the charity’s programs to help give children a break from the hard times in their lives.
Chief executive Adam Wake said that “last year’s Giving Day was a huge success”, with all funds raised from the event helping create fun opportunities for children and young people.
“More than 1,700 children benefited from Cottage by the Sea in the 2023/24 financial year through life-changing experiences by the sea and adventures in nature,” he said.
“Our young people are finding it tough. We are experiencing a shift in how children present at Cottage, with a definite increase in those who need additional support.
“This year, our 135th year of operation, it is crucial that we reach as many children as we can on our programs, but we need the generosity of our community to make it possible.”
Cottage by the Sea was established in 1890 to enhance children’s lives by providing inspiration, fun, and opportunities within a seaside environment.
The charity hosts many different programs like outdoor activities and short-stay camps, with participants able to build positive relationships with peers and adult role models.
