Press Gallery picks St John Ambulance Youth Program for 2026 Midwinter Ball charity

The Federal Parliamentary Press Gallery has chosen St John Ambulance's Youth Program as this year's charity beneficiary for the 2026 Midwinter Ball, held at Parliament House on 1 July. The organisation runs first-aid training and youth development. The Gallery announced the pick early, letting the charity capitalise on the connection and lift auction proceeds—a safe pairing of journalists, politicians and an apolitical cause.
