Volunteering at our Toys and Teens Appeal
We are seeking volunteers to help in these specific roles in our 'Toy Week' (7-12 December 2025):
Experienced Sorters and Packers
We're especially keen to hear from anyone who's volunteered in Toy Week before - you'll be able to get us off to a flying start!
Apprentice Van Manager
We would also love to hear from anyone who's interested in shadowing our VanMan Frank as he organises collections of donations, and creates the delivery schedule for our team of drivers and loaders / unloaders, with a view to taking on the role for future Toy Weeks.
Van helpers
We're also keen to recruit more people to our van team. We have enough drivers for this year, but need people to travel in the vans with the drivers and help with loading and unloading.
Book Sorters
And as ever we would like to hear from you if you are or were a teacher or children's librarian, and could give us a day or more of your time between 7 - 12 December, to check books for quality and ensure the books go to the appropriately-aged children.
For any of these roles, please contact [email protected].

Fundraising help
We are always grateful for any help fundraising, so if you have any ideas for how to raise some money to support us - running a marathon, organising a bake sale, or jumping out of a plane! - then we would love to hear from you.

THE SMALL PRINT
