Speaking of the importance of children’s charities and the benefit performance, Queens of the Stone Age lead singer Josh Homme says:
“I’m a father of three, that’s my favourite thing in the world. As you travel around, I see a lot of really nice places, but I see a lot of dark places too. You’re only a kid once, you’re an adult your whole life….. I also want to play acoustically. I love to play the MONA. It’s a chance to do something nice and this is a situation where it’s very simple to do something nice.”
The Royal Hobart Hospital Children’s Services cater to the healthcare needs of infants, children, and adolescents with acute and chronic conditions across southern Tasmania. This comprehensive service encompasses a variety of state-wide offerings, including inpatient and outpatient services, as well as specialised units such as Paediatric Medicine, Paediatric Surgery, and an onsite Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) team.
The 24 Carrot Gardens program educates children in health, wellbeing, and the importance of lifelong learning, establishing gardens in schools and communities where children learn to grow, cook and eat healthy produce.
