Cottage's Giving Day returns on March 3 

All the funds raised will go directly to the charity’s programs so that more children can experience inspiring and fun opportunities at Cottage by the Sea and its new Riptide facility.

“Last year’s Giving Day was a huge success. Nearly 2,000 children benefitted from Cottage by the Sea in FY 2024-25 through life-changing experiences by the sea and adventures in nature. But we want to do more for more,” said Adam Wake, Cottage by the Sea CEO.

“Last week, we launched our new state-of-the-art Riptide facility. We can enhance the lives of 700 more children each year through Riptide, but we need additional funds to support more children,” continued Wake.

“Donations on Giving Day will help us offer children more opportunities to experience this state-of-the-art facility, in addition to experiences in the water and with additional equipment or infrastructure,” continued Wake.

Cottage by the Sea is a non-government funded Australian children’s charity. Its mission is to enhance the lives of children by providing inspiration, fun and opportunity within a holiday environment. To continue offering its transformative programs for children and young people, Cottage by the Sea needs the support of individuals, trusts and corporations.

Donating to Giving Day on March 3, 2026 will help Cottage by the Sea give more children a break.
