2026 Good Friday Appeal Call For Volunteers
For 83 years, Uncle Bobs Club has proudly supported the Good Friday Appeal.Â
Together with the Victorian community, we help raise vital funds for The Royal Children’s Hospital, part of a legacy that’s been changing young lives for 95 years. Every dollar we raise helps sick kids receive essential care and life-saving treatment.
This year, we’re calling on our community again.
Will you join us?
Give a few hours. Make a lifetime of difference.
The Good Friday Appeal is powered by everyday Victorians who volunteer.
Just a few hours of your time helps raise critical funds for sick kids and their families at The Royal Children’s Hospital.
You’ll be part of a proud community tradition and part of something bigger than yourself.
Spots fill quickly. Secure yours now. 👇
A message from the Good Friday Appeal
We’re here for the greater good.
And we’re doing it for Victoria’s children.
Can’t make it on the day? You can still help.
If you’re unable to volunteer this year, a donation goes just as far.
Funds raised through Uncle Bobs Club support critical equipment, hospital programs, and the ongoing excellence of Victorian healthcare through scholarships and fellowships at RCH.
Every contribution counts.
