Donate new or your unwanted toys
They will be saved for Toys and Teens 2023
We are collecting toys and gifts for children aged from birth to 16 years which will go towards our Toys and Teens Appeal later this year and will be distributed in time for Christmas.
They can be new items or very good quality second hand - 'as good as new'.
So, if you're having a sort out and you would like to donate unwanted toys and gifts to us, then all we ask is that they are new or 'as new' - items that you would be happy to give or receive as gifts.
If you are buying a new gift please try to limit the cost to a maximum of around £30 per item. We try to give each child similar numbers of items of similar value. If we have some very expensive items it makes it difficult to distribute items fairly.
Similarly, items of very small value tend to get left over, although a colouring book with some crayons or sticker books are always welcome.
Second hand items must really be 'as good as new' so they must be clean, complete, working - good enough that the receiving family can't really tell they are not new.
Sorry, no soft toys, audio cassettes, computer games, DVDs or CDs, baby equipment, clothes.
Nothing electrical or rechargeable unless it is brand new still in its sealed packaging - if it has a plug on the end and is not new, we are not insured to donate it.
Please make sure that all the pieces of a set are bagged up together and all the pieces of a jigsaw are together in the original box. Please don't just tip out a toy box and expect us to know what goes with what!! Thank you.
