Charities call for unused Stay NSW vouchers to be donated as expiry date looms

 Charities are encouraging NSW residents to donate millions of dollars worth of unused Stay NSW vouchers before they expire on October 9. 

The $50 vouchers can be used at accommodation providers participating in the scheme, such as hotels and motels. 

About $74 million worth of Stay NSW vouchers are unused across the state, according to Service NSW.

More than 2 million vouchers have been issued, but fewer than 700,000 have been redeemed.

One regional charity that could benefit is RuffTRACK, which teaches at-risk youth how to train working dogs out of Riverstone in Sydney's west.
