In 1994, Variety - the Children’s Charity of WA received a simple request to provide toys to children who had taken refuge in shelters due to domestic violence or other circumstances. The goal was to give these children something they could call their own, a small symbol of comfort and a fresh start. Chaired by the late Holly Wood, this meaningful event has become deeply embedded in Variety’s history.

We're excited to present the 2025 Toy Bank Lunch, our highly anticipated comeback event on Friday, 3 October, at The Kingsman, an exclusive open air pop up venue in the heart of the city on Riverside Drive, Perth. Join us from 12:00 pm – 3:00 pm for a purposeful afternoon.

What to Expect:

Scherri-Lee Biggs as our MC for the afternoon.
Upon arrival, guests can purchase a raffle ticket for our Champagne Tower for a chance to win a $5,000 voucher thanks to our Presenting Partner, Stefan Diamonds.
Enjoy a three-course meal with premium beverages while listening to our special guest Sheree, a domestic violence survivor, advocate, and WA’s official Agent of Change for the 16 Days in WA campaign. Sheree will share her powerful story of resilience and rebuilding life with her children.
Exciting auction items.
After lunch, guests are welcome to relax and network outdoors, taking in the spectacular views of the Perth cityscape in a truly special venue.

Support the Toy Bank

We kindly ask each guest to bring along a new, unwrapped toy. All donated toys will be delivered to the Women’s Council for Domestic and Family Violence Services, then distributed to more than 40 women’s refuges across WA.

This year, we’ve partnered with Toyworld Claremont to make donating even easier. When selecting your ticket, you’ll have the option to enter a custom donation amount. We’ll use this to purchase a toy from Toyworld Claremont on your behalf and ensure it’s on display at Toy Bank 2025.
