Earlier this May, more than 100 people came together at our Randwick Toy Swap to share, connect and take part in community-led reuse. 💛

Together, we:
🧸 Rehomed around 600 toys and 400 books
📚 Kept over 160kg of resources in use
🌏 Helped avoid an estimated 8,500kg of CO2 emissions
💛 Created enough surplus resources to continue supporting more than 100 additional children through redistribution programs

The event demonstrated how simple community-led actions can create meaningful environmental, social and economic impact.

Beyond reducing waste, the Toy Swap helped extend the life of valuable resources, improve access to play and learning materials, encourage sustainable behaviours and strengthen local community connection.

Most importantly, many children experienced firsthand that sharing, reuse and caring for resources can be joyful and normal parts of everyday life. 🌱

Volunteering is a powerful way for children to learn empathy, responsibility, and the value of giving through real, hands on action.

Over the past 7 years, hundreds of volunteers have joined Joy of Giving, and many families tell us it’s a meaningful and memorable experience to share together.

We’re currently gathering expressions of interest to shape the sessions. Let’s play, share and care together.

Saturday 29 Nov, Friday 5 Dec & Saturday 6 Dec | 9:30am – 12:30pm

Joy Of Giving Hub is saying goodbye to Crows Nest! It's a hub about toy swap, sustainability education & community joy.

We’ve been working hard behind the scenes with our relocation and preparing toys for children this Christmas.

This month, we are expecting to distribute over 3,000 items to families across Sydney and NSW.

If you can spare a few hours, your help will bring joy to children and support our environment. 💛

✅ Sign up to volunteer (please state your availability, we will text you to confirm):
https://www.joyofgiving.net/get-involved

Also, we’re seeking around 10 lightly used or near-new school backpacks to deliver to a remote community. Contact us if you have any to contribute!

It has been an incredible year for us, and we have met so many wonderful locals. We will be announcing our new location very soon—stay tuned!

Thank you so much for your support! 🙏🎁
