This Christmas, you helped fill Chris O’Brien Lifehouse with hope, comfort and connection through music. Thanks to your generosity, our Christmas Appeal raised $190,000. These funds will support our Music in Health program and ensure it can stay completely free of charge for patients.
Thanks to the support of our donors, the Music in Health team can continue to offer bedside music therapy on the wards, host singing for wellbeing groups, and schedule live performances in our foyer. In 2026, we aim to reach 1,000 patients and families, and celebrate a decade of music therapy at Chris O’Brien Lifehouse.
This kindness also allows us to expand these services. We look forward to creating more original songs with patients, welcoming new musicians, and introducing more guided music and relaxation sessions at the YouCan Centre.
Thank you for helping ease anxiety, lift spirits and bring moments of calm through music.
