How can you help?
Since 1968, The Channel 7 Telethon Trust has supported charitable causes and research that supports the medical, health and wellbeing and social welfare of sick, vulnerable and disadvantaged children in Western Australia.
The Channel 7 Telethon Trust is particularly interested in applicants who can demonstrate how their program, equipment or research directly affects disadvantaged, disabled, sick and vulnerable children and their families in Western Australia.
