Looking for a meaningful family activity that encourages kindness, creativity, and sustainability? At the Joy of Giving Hub, you and your children can join hands-on volunteer sessions focused on cleaning, sorting, packing, and decorating donated toys. This is a wonderful chance to teach children about generosity and the positive impact of giving.
Children are encouraged to bring a gently loved toy from home to donate, showing them how something they have enjoyed can be passed on to another child. As a special thank you, each child will get to choose a reimagined ‘new-to-them’ toy to take home.
These sessions support children and families experiencing disadvantage by sharing good quality toys, helping to keep toys in use and bringing happiness to those who may otherwise miss out.
The sessions run on multiple dates from late September to mid-October, each from 9:30am to 11:30am. Everyone aged 6 and over is welcome, with children under 16 needing to be accompanied by an adult. Places are limited, so booking ahead is recommended.
This is a volunteer opportunity that combines community spirit with hands-on creativity and education about sustainability. It’s perfect for families wanting to spend quality time together while making a positive impact.
The event takes place at the Joy of Giving Hub, located at 36 Blue St, North Sydney NSW 2060. The venue is accessible and family-friendly, making it easy to bring children along for this rewarding experience.
Public transport and parking options are available nearby, ensuring convenient access for families from across the city.
Participants should bring a gently loved toy from home to donate if possible. Children under 16 must be accompanied by an adult to ensure a safe and supportive environment.
The event encourages reuse and sustainability, so please come prepared to engage in cleaning and decorating activities. All materials and toys are provided by the organisers.
This is a volunteer event with a strong community focus, so a spirit of kindness and cooperation is appreciated.
General admission costs $25, while North Sydney residents can attend for free. Booking is essential due to limited places.
Tickets can be secured online via the Joy of Giving Hub website. Early registration is recommended to avoid disappointment and ensure your family’s spot at this heartwarming event.
