Kids West Western Sydney Paediatric Fund Raising Inc

Who are we? Kids West is a local children’s charity that raises funds for Medical research, for development and distribution of educational programs in accident awareness, and for medical equipment for children living in western Sydney. Kids West has been supporting Paediatric and Neonatal intensive care units across western Sydney for over 20 years, working to make a positive impact on children’s lives and supporting families through what is always a difficult time. Kids West was founded in 1991 by Trevor Oldfield and Professor Reuben Dubois of Westmead Hospital. We were formed to raise much needed funds for the Hospitals in Sydney’s Western region.Kids West has successfully recruited Board member volunteers from NSW Police, Ambulance and Fire brigades as well as local business leaders, doctors, nurses and those with Administrative skills. This has placed us in a unique and powerful position to raise funds and ensure that those funds are distributed to areas giving the best result possible for our community. Recognising the shortage of crucial equipment and resources in Hospitals such as Auburn, Westmead, Mt Druitt and Nepean, Kids West was welcomed as a no frills charity who aimed at identifying the real needs and filling gaps wherever possible. We are proud to have worked alongside many other charities for a common goal, such as Ronald McDonald House, The Millennium Foundation, Canteen and many pre-Schools and Day Care centres. With Community support Kids West will continue to fill the gaps making our Children’s lives a little healthier and happier. Looking forward the Kids West team are working hard on forming new partnerships with corporates and other community organisations to find new ways to generate funds so that it can continue to support the children of western Sydney.
