What's on this Sydney Sick Kids Appeal?

The Paused Playground – 7–8 May  

For the second year in a row, we will be running an experiential activation to support Sydney Sick Kids Appeal (SSKA).

Our Paused Playground will be open at Customs House Forecourt, Circular Quay for two days from May 7-8 to announce the launch of the appeal.

The activation will involve a large-scale playground, including swings, a slide and seesaw, all frozen in time, driving home the message that every child in hospital is a childhood on hold.

Visitors can scan a QR code to either donate or just watch as the playground comes to life on the screen, reminding them that they can help bring a kid back home and help to press play on childhood.
