Donate Your Day

TSH Chatterbox Children Donate Your Day

What is Donate Your Day?

Donate our Day is an easy way to make a difference to children whose lives have been impacted by hearing, speech or language challenges. All you need to do is ask your friends and family to make a donation to Telethon Speech & Hearing instead of buying you gifts. For example, you could Donate Your Day for a birthday, an anniversary or your wedding.

You can set up a donation page as well where your friends and family can make an online donation to!

How do I Donate My Day?

It’s simple to do, just click here to set up your very own ‘Donate Your Day’ page. Share it with your friends and family and they can donate directly to Telethon Speech & Hearing to help celebrate your special day.

Hearing loss is prevalent in Australia, with 1 in every 100 children being born with a hearing loss. This number increases to 1 in every 500 by school age.

Meanwhile 1 in every 5 children are documented as not reaching age appropriate speech and language milestones. 

By donating your day, you are sharing your gifts with children and families all across WA whose lives have been impacted by hearing, speech and language challenges.

Birthday and celebration fundraising on Facebook

Birthday fundraiser for TSH

You may have noticed on your Facebook feed that a lot of your friends are fundraising for a charity or cause close to them in the lead up to their birthday. Charities like Telethon Speech & Hearing that are registered with the Australian Charities and Not-For-Profit Commission are able to be supported over Facebook through the platform’s ‘Birthday Fundraiser’ option. 

Payments are made via Paypal so you can be sure they are secure.

Facebook and the Paypal Giving Fund do not make any profit off your donation.

You can start a fundraiser via Facebook for any reason at any time. A significant event like a birthday or anniversary is a wonderful reason to start a fundraiser!
