Supporting Little Wings

Club Forbes was the venue for a spectacular dinner for Little Wings on Saturday 31 May.

Club Forbes proudly supports Little Wings, a non-profit organisation providing free air and ground transport for seriously ill or injured children in rural and regional NSW, ensuring ongoing access to lifesaving medical treatment that is only available in a major city.

Clare Pearson, CEO Of Little Wings, says the organisation is truly grateful to receive the consistent support of Club Forbes.

"Their assistance over many years has allowed Little Wings to support regional families in need without hesitation, to plan services for those with chronic or lifelong needs, and to be part of the solution for regional healthcare," she said.

"With the assistance of Club Forbes, two seriously ill children from regional and remote NSW have been directly supported, either seeing their specialist in their treating hospital or via a Medical Wings clinic in their local region."

One of the families Club Forbes has supported is Scarlett, seven years old and a resident of the Forbes community.

Scarlett was born with cerebral palsy and requires specialist treatment at Westmead Children’s Hospital twice per year for her routine injections and therapies to assist her walking and gross motor functions.

With the help of Little Wings the journey from home to hospital goes from a six-hour drive to a one-hour flight, easing the journey for the entire family.
