Treatment over Toys

Christmas is a time of year that we associate with giving and helping others. Here at Sydney Children’s Hospitals Foundation, we believe no child should spend Christmas in hospital, but those who do deserve our all.

Sydney Children’s Hospitals Foundation works very closely with Sydney Children’s Hospitals Network to ensure kids waking up in hospital on Christmas morning get plenty of toys, to have the brightest Christmas possible. If you or your company are interested in providing a toy donation, our Toy Donation Guidelines can be found here.
