Our dedicated Wellness Centre volunteers held a Pop-Up Shop last month, with all funds raised helping keep our wellness programs 100% free for cancer patients. These programs include oncology massage, peer support, financial advice, counselling, and mindfulness.

Held in the Ballarat Base Hospital Gardiner-Pittard foyer, the Pop-Up Shop featured a variety of goods such as second-hand books, puzzles, hand-knitted beanies, homemade relish, and plenty of other fantastic bargains.

Thanks to the generosity of our community, the event raised over $900 on the day. Volunteers also sold raffle tickets for the Cancer Wellness Raffle, helping to boost the total and ensure that BRICC and the Wellness Centre can continue to offer holistic support to those navigating their cancer journey.
