Club Stockton has announced the awarding of a $10,000 community grant to Emma’s Warriors, a foundation dedicated to supporting tweens and teens undergoing extended hospital treatment. The grant reflects Club Stockton’s commitment to giving back to the local community and supporting initiatives that make a tangible difference for families facing hardship.

About Emma’s Warriors

Emma’s Warriors is a registered foundation that provides care, comfort, and practical support to seriously ill young people and their families. The foundation was established to address the challenges faced by families experiencing long hospital stays, particularly when children receive a difficult health diagnosis. Emma’s Warriors focuses on bringing a sense of comfort and positivity to hospitalised tweens and teens, helping them cope with the uncertainty and discomfort of hospital life.

How the Grant Will Be Used

The $10,000 grant from Club Stockton will directly support Emma’s Warriors in expanding the reach of its signature Care Kits program and other support initiatives. Each Care Kit is thoughtfully assembled to provide practical items and small comforts that make a hospital stay easier. These kits include backpacks, entertainment devices, personal care products, and other essentials that help brighten a young patient’s hospital room.

In addition to Care Kits, the grant will also contribute to extra support for families, such as providing technology (iPads, portable WiFi, and Nintendo Switch consoles), and financial assistance for families required to travel for medical treatment. These additional supports help reduce some of the emotional and financial strain experienced during extended hospitalisation.

Lasting Impact on Families

This grant will enable Emma’s Warriors to deliver more Care Kits and provide extra assistance to a greater number of families in need. By partnering with community organisations like Club Stockton, Emma’s Warriors is able to reach more seriously ill young people, bringing comfort, connection, and hope during a difficult time.

Club Stockton’s Ongoing Commitment

The funding provided to Emma’s Warriors is part of Club Stockton’s ongoing commitment to supporting local community organisations and initiatives. Through grants and sponsorships, Club Stockton aims to make a positive impact in the lives of local residents, with a special focus on health, wellbeing, and support for families.
