Putting the FUN into fundraising

Phil' volunteers support the Child Life and Music therapists at the Sydney Children's Hospital by facilitating fundraising activities and events that unite the university community in making a positive impact

Be part of the team that brings Fun-A-Thon to life

In week 6 of Term 3 October 17th and 18th we are hosting a 24 hour Fun-A-Thon! This event consists of 24 activities, one per hour that teams made up of UNSW students will participate in.

We are recruiting both general volunteers and senior volunteers for term 3 to help with the creation, organisation, and running of Fun-A-Thon
