This Christmas we are filled with joy to partner with an incredible local initiative, Bear Cottage.
Located in Manly on Sydney’s Northern Beaches, Bear Cottage is a warm and home-like environment
providing respite, support and end-of-life care for children with life-limiting conditions and their families.
Bear Cottage is the only children’s hospice in NSW, one of only three in Australia.
ABOUT OUR PARTNERSHIP
As a community we hope to shed a little love and light to those doing it tough this Christmas. We will be taking donations of any amount to put towards vouchers for the families affected by life-threatening illness.
HOW TO GET INVOLVED
To join us in giving back this Christmas you are welcome to donate at our front desk with cash or card. Once you have donated you will get to write your name on a special little decoration to place on our Bear Cottage Christmas pine in the studio. We can’t wait to see these beautiful pines filled with love.
