Chancellor’s Christmas Toy Appeal

The University extends a very special thank you to everyone who has generously donated to Christmas Toy Appeals since 2013. Over 3,800 toys and gifts have been donated to charities.

Now in its 12th year, the Appeal has brought joy to hundreds of children across Western Sydney. This year, we are proud to partner with Barnardos Cranebrook, an organisation supporting vulnerable children and families who are experiencing neglect, risk and complex trauma. As Barnardos relies heavily on community donations, your contribution can make a real difference for families doing it tough this Christmas.

Staff, students and their families are invited to donate new toys, books, clothing or gift vouchers. All donations will be given directly to Barnardos to support children and teenagers in our local community.

Collection boxes will be available until Friday 12 December. You can make a difference to the lives of disadvantaged children and teenagers by donating a gift at the following locations:
