Give toys or books

The Smith Family’s Toy & Book Appeal is your opportunity to help bring a smile to a disadvantaged child’s face this Christmas.

Sadly, thousands of Australian children will go without receiving a gift this holiday season simply because their families can’t afford it. Your generous support will help children in need to acquire the skills and knowledge they need to build a better future and help them to create a sense of belonging this Christmas.

With so many children to help, we often need to purchase additional gifts particularly for age categories that are often overlooked.

Making a personal donation or in lieu of a gift will not only bring joy to a family who would otherwise go without over Christmas, but it will help provide access to learning support and mentoring for Australian children living in disadvantage.

Christmas gifts that could transform a child’s life.

Share the joy of giving with your friends and loved ones. Choose a meaningful gift that brings twice the joy. Put a smile on a young face on Christmas morning – and help a disadvantaged Australian child build a better future for themselves.

We rely heavily on the toys and books generously donated by the community to make up the gift packs provided to over 29,000 children across the country this year. 

You can register to collect gifts in late September via Events & Fundraising.

If you are interested in collecting gifts sooner please contact our Toy and Book Team. 

Thank you to everyone who generously volunteered their time to make the 2020 Toy and Book Appeal a success!

Our Toy and Book Volunteer registrations will open to the public in late October. If you’d like to express interest in volunteering please contact our Toy and Book team.
