Our 2024 Christmas Toy Drive was larger than previous years with 31 schools, companies, churches and private people donating around 11 palettes of toys. The toy bonanza means that we have enough toys to fulfill some of our programs for 12 months.

In addition to donating hundreds of gifts to children and young people who had to spend Christmas in hospital, our volunteers sorted and packed toys for the LINGO program (hospital Bingo played most afternoons at the Royal Children’s Hospital) and identified hundreds of small, interactive items for Koala Kids lucky dip programs to incentivise children with cancer to have their procedure.
