Meet the Auxiliaries

The RCH Auxiliaries have been supporting the hospital for 100 years. Shop their products here and support their mission of making sick kids better.

A dedicated network of fundraisers, the Auxiliaries have been raising money for the hospital for 100 years under the mission “one team working towards one goal – making sick kids better”.

Loved by staff and families at the RCH, the Auxiliaries have been bringing Main Street to life with their market stalls for many years, selling a range of incredible homewares, gifts, baked goods, children’s toys and clothing.

The funds raised go to a variety of projects and initiatives in line with Auxiliary’s personal connections to the RCH and the hospital’s priorities in the areas of research, leadership and training, equipment and technology and patient and family centred care.
