Very Special Kids
At Ritchies, we are deeply committed to supporting Very Special Kids in their mission to ensure that every child, regardless of the length of their journey, receives the quality of life they deserve.
Testimonial
At Very Special Kids, we believe all children have the right to quality of life, no matter how long or short their life may be.
We provide holistic palliative care for children and young people with life-limiting conditions, and tailored support for their families – through life, death, and bereavement.
Our free-of-charge services includes counselling and emotional support, sibling support, community networking activities and bereavement support, plus respite, end-of-life and after death care at Very Special Kids House, Victoria’s only children’s hospice.
As a predominantly self-funded not-for-profit, Very Special Kids relies on the generosity of the community to ensure seriously ill children, young people and their families don’t have to endure their difficult journey alone.
Thanks to our longstanding relationship with Ritchies stores and the compassion of your customers, Very Special Kids can continue to deliver vital programs to ensure sick children, and their families, have access to comfort, respite, and the very best care in the most difficult times.
