What to donate
This page contains guidance on what to donate for our annual Toys and Teens Christmas Gift Appeal. Our 2025 Appeal is now complete and we will start collecting donations again in October 2026.
We would ideally like to receive new items where possible but are happy to accept really good quality second hand items that are clean, complete and working - barely used! Ask yourself, would you give the item to a child that you know?
Please don't donate items that have missing people or animals or parts. For example a shape sorter with none of the shapes, a fairy house or a garage or aeroplane without the little people that were originally included!
We have prepared individual lists for each of the following age groups - please click on the link to see and download the list: (links will open in a new tab)
