ward angels

Toys and gifts for children aged 0-17 are needed this Christmas.  Please find donation suggestions under our current wish list tab in the donate drop down menu.

Brand new socks and underwear in original packaging is needed in the thousands!  These are used for the patients and families when dealing with urgent situations, accidents leading to clothes needing to be cut and families dealing with financial hardship who find themselves in hospital with their child much longer than expected.  They are also donated through the Aboriginal Health outreach programs run through The Children's Hospital Westmead and are given to families in rural Australia.

These are the items we are desperately needing due to low stock.  They are used in our emergency toiletries bags given to families with a sick child in hospital.

Needed in large numbers for all the wards and departments in multiple hospitals across NSW.

Used within the Neonatal Intensive Care Units across NSW.  Parents reading aloud to their babies promotes bonding and more positive outcomes.  Ward Angels donates hundreds of books every year and our stock is running low.

Ward Angels provides supplies used to create special keepsakes, all presented inside a beautiful white box.  These boxes are given to the staff, who will guide the families through the process of making the keepsakes when they suffer the loss of a child.  

Items needed: 

Painting canvases of various sizes, large ink pads in various colours for hand prints, large, soft paintbrushes, acrylic paints, small satin drawstring bags, USBs for images.

Used in all the wards and departments within multiple hospitals across NSW.  

These toys are used for play therapy, occupational therapy, mental health strategies and to calm and distract children in difficult situations.
