On Friday last week we proudly celebrated the 2nd birthday of our lovely Stella Bella Children's Centre

Since opening, the care we offer in both our special care and main stream units has surpassed all of our expectations. We have thoroughly enjoyed watching the children in both of these areas of our centre thrive, and have made some lovely connections with their families along the way.

We are very proud that we’ve been able to offer our unique model of specialised care to seriously ill children and have provided them with an opportunity to form friendships and develop skills in a lovely, happy place with dedicated and super caring staff.

We wouldn’t be able to offer this extremely important service without the careful consideration and understanding of the parents in our mainstream care unit and we thank them all for their extra efforts that help us to protect the fragile little children in our special care unit.

We had a great little party with our families and were very excited to have some players from Brumbies Rugby take time out of their busy schedules to come out and have some fun and play with the children to help celebrate. It was so nice to see the smiles on the kids and players faces as they played together, making lots of special memories in the beautiful spaces within the centre.

Speaking of beautiful spaces, we are also extremely excited to announce that construction will soon commence on the new playground spaces, that has been made possible through the generous funding provided by our wonderful neighbours at COS and by our awesome friends at Construction Control

Thank you to everyone who has kindly supported us all along the way from when we started dreaming of this unique new concept of care to making it a wonderful reality for our children, their families and our staff. Xxx ... See MoreSee Less

We are incredibly proud of Peter Blackshaw Real Estate who have won the REIA Australian Community Service Award!
Over the past 4 years, the Peter Blackshaw teams across Canberra have donated more than $200,000 to our local charity and helped us to provide support to hundreds of families when they need it most. They have walked, run, sung, danced, teed off, and rowed to raise much needed funds for us and we are just one of the many local charities, sporting teams and schools they support in our town.
So, Thank You! to a big bunch of shining stars for all you do and congratulations on this well deserved award. ⭐️

Today is Rare Disease Day.
So many children live with rare diseases and life can be extra difficult for their parents who have to continuously fight for access to treatments, for information on their child’s condition and for support they need, when they don’t don’t fit into a common health category.

Many of the children in our programs have rare and very complexed life limiting diseases so spare a thought for them today and head over to the Rare Disease Day page to see what you can do to help them out xxx ... See MoreSee Less

We were so pleased to host our very first Yoga class for Mums at our Stella Bella Children’s Centre last night.

We had a lovely group of mums join us whose lives revolve around their seriously ill children and who rarely have the chance to take some time to care for themselves. With the gentle guidance of our beautiful yoga instructor Michelle, the mums were able to relax, unwind and focus on their own wellbeing in a calm and gentle space together.

We gave each mum a yoga kit of her own and we followed the session with some yummy cake and tea. It was so nice to see the mums getting to know each other.

Being a mum with a seriously ill child can be a very stressful and isolating experience and having the chance to meet others on a similar journey can help to share the load.

We are so very grateful to Westfield Woden whose Local Hero grant has enabled us to launch this much needed program and thanks to their generosity, we look forward to offering this free class to many mums long into the future ❤️ ... See MoreSee Less
