Give Gifts to Kids in Hospital
Thousands of families across Hunter New England visit our facilities each year, almost 50,000 children and young people visit the John Hunter Children’s Hospital alone, and as you can imagine they are in constant need of little extra comforts to help pass the time and entertain our many patients.

- New Colour pencils, crayons and textas
- New Children's Books - for ages 0 to 18 years
- New colouring books or blank colouring pads
- New Play Doh
- New Stickers
- New Simple DYI craft packs
- New Easy / small (no larger than A4) paint by number kits
- New Match Box cars

If you are able to assist us with any of the above items, please contact our Fundraising Department (02) 4921 4492.
Due to health regulations, we are unable to accept used toys, books or knitted goods.
John Hunter Children's Hospital is always in need of pro bono professional services. Donation of goods in kind such as graphic design, printing, raffle or auction prizes, catering and event production services are vital to our success.
Gifts in Kind donations are not eligible for a tax-deductible receipt.
If you or your company would like to assist by making a donation of goods or services in kind, please contact us on (02) 4921 4492.
