On 18 July 2013 Feel the Magic was officially registered as a charity, but our story began a little earlier, in a place known for dreams: Disneyland.

In those early days, before our grief education programs began, we brought families together through moments of joy and connection, by taking them to Disneyland. Featured here is the Gerigk family, the very first family we took on that special trip. The video you're watching captures the moment our founders surprised them with the news that they were going to Disneyland.​

What started as a small idea with a big heart has grown into a national organisation delivering life-changing programs across Australia. We’ve helped thousands of children feel less alone in their grief and we’ve done it with the support of an extraordinary community of volunteers, mentors, families, and partners.

To everyone who’s been part of the journey from the very beginning to today - THANK YOU!
