The Werribee Mercy Hospital Easter Fair provided stacks of fun for about 1000 people on Sunday.
Mercy Health has thanked community members for helping to make the fair a winner, with money raised from the day going toward the hospital’s new Critical Care Unit, which is set to open in the middle of the year.
The fair, held at Victoria University’s Hoppers Lane campus, included an Easter egg hunt, drumming workshops by Afrobeat, a petting zoo, jumbo slide, food offerings and a variety of stalls.
In the past 18 months, the Mercy Health Foundation has been running a fundraising appeal to help fit out the Critical Care Unit, which is being built as part of a state government-funded $85 million expansion of the hospital.
The appeal, which aims to raise $2 million, so far has raised more than $1 million.
