Everyone should have access to fun, and what better way to give this Christmas than helping local kids get outdoors, play, and stay active? It’s a tricky economic time for many in our community, and we don’t think anyone should miss out on having fun outside over the Christmas holidays, everyone should have access to affordable play. That’s why we’re running a Christmas Toy Drive to refresh the St. Giles Toy Library in Launceston!

We’re asking the community to donate outdoor toys. Think sports equipment, outdoor games, space hoppers, bikes – anything that gets kids moving and enjoying nature. Your donation doesn’t just provide a fun day; it helps nurture healthier, happier kids right here in Northern Tasmania.

You can drop off toys and place them under the Kingthing Giving Christmas tree in our CBD office during our office hours: 8:30 a.m.—5 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 8:30 a.m.—3 p.m. Fridays. Kingthing Marketing on York Street (between ALA and Anytime Fitness), 41 a York Street, Launceston, 7250

We will make a delivery to St.Giles for you.

We understand this time of year can be busy! That’s why the Kingthing team is offering pick-up for businesses in the CBD. If you’re lucky, we will even be in Christmas fancy dress. Please contact us to arrange a suitable pick-up time.

If you prefer to donate online, follow the link below to make a contribution. Every little bit counts!

Anyone in the Northern Tasmanian community can access St.Giles Toy Library, which has books, puzzles, games, and toys. It’s only $15 per year to access the toy library, and each child can borrow 4 items for up to three weeks at a time.

Breathing in the fresh Tassie air, running around, and playing outdoors isn’t just fun – it’s essential for children’s health and development. Getting your blood pumping can spark creativity and give you a mental health boost - which we all need after Tassie winters. Outdoor play helps kids grow, learn, and thrive. Let’s get them out in nature with the right tools – toys that inspire exploration and imagination!

It’s a small act of kindness that will make a huge difference in their lives – and in our community. We really appreciate any help you can give.
