 Fairy
Sparkle is an inspiration. She began visiting children in hospital
in 1991 and saw a great need for them and their families to
escape the gruelling routine that comes with long-term hospital
stays. So, she decided to build a Fairy Garden at the Sydney
Children's Hospital, which has become an important part of life
for staff, patients and their families and friends.
Hospital Chairman, Michael Brydon, said: "The Fairy
Garden has become such a critical component of the hospital
that we just cannot afford to be without it." And a mother
who spent time in the garden with her sick daughter wrote:
"When I feel anxious and scared I think of the pleasure
the Fairy Garden brings to my little girl and I can smile.
Thank you for bringing so much happiness and beauty to so
many children and their families."
This unique sanctuary proved to be such a success that children's
hospitals
around Australia are currently working with Fairy Sparkle
to build their own
Fairy Gardens.
Arnott’s has supported Fairy Sparkle for many years,
and through the Foundation, it’s proud to continue that
association, which contributes in such a unique way to improving
the quality of life for sick children and their families around
Australia.
