Welcome to the Susan Roskell Memorial Toy & Gift Drive 2026
Being a child in disadvantaged circumstances can have detrimental effects on their mental health and wellbeing which hinders them from making the most out of life.
Sometimes a simple gesture of kindness through gifts and toys can be enough to help them cope through their challenges while providing ease to their families and carers knowing that these children can still enjoy beautiful moments in life.
Each year we give donated new toys, sporting equipment, books and school equipment to our network of community and charity partners throughout the Hunter Valley region and other areas of NSW. These groups distribute the items to children in need.

Making a Difference since 2016
As we approach 2026, we’re proud to celebrate the 11th year of the Toy Drive. In 2022, we renamed the drive to honour our beloved mum and nanny, Susan Roskell, whose memory continues to inspire us after their passing during the 2021 campaign. Since our inaugural drive in 2016, community generosity has grown each year, resulting in thousands of toys and gifts being donated.
Supporting families affected by domestic violence has always been at the heart of our mission, and this commitment remains steadfast. Over time, our reach has expanded to include families facing the challenges of cancer, those experiencing financial hardship during the festive season, and individuals navigating mental health struggles. More recently, we’ve extended our support to the disability sector, recognising that families impacted by disability often miss out on assistance at Christmas.
Through these efforts, the Toy Drive strives to make a meaningful difference across diverse communities, ensuring that no family is left behind during the holidays.
