Lost Property Sale
Every year we sell all the lost property collected by Estate Management in the past year for charity. including clothes, tech, books, and more. This year we raised $15.2k and saved multiple items from going to landwaste!
What is Phil'
Phil’ is Australia’s largest student-led philanthropy initiative to unite the UNSW community behind one purposeful cause that makes a positive impact.
Each year, we fundraise for the Sydney Children’s Hospital in Randwick to support the Child Life and Music Therapy team and make a BIG difference to little kids and their families!
The therapists use music and play to help hospitalised children understand their medical procedures and make sure they don’t miss out on having a fun childhood. We combine volunteering opportunities and fundraising activities so that our university students can have fun, feel like a kid again, and help raise money for those who can't.
Since starting in 2016, Phil' has donated over $500,000, and our goal for 2025 is to raise $65,000!
What we do
City 2 Surf!
This August 10th, walk, run or jog 14kms from the city to the beach with our group of staff and volunteers to raise money for the Child life and music therapists at Sydney Childrens Hospital!
Bunnings BBQs and Bake Sales
Phil' often hosts food stalls at different Bunnings locations around Sydney to raise money from the wider community.
Dares for Donations!
In Term 3, 2025 our very popular Dares for Donations event will be back! Previously students have eaten spicy noodles, waxed their bodies and faced their fears! All proceeds go to the Child Life and Music Therapists at the Sydney Children's Hospital.
