Volunteers wrapping new toys in purple paper

Our Work

Toys for Toddlers is a charity that gives new toys, books and games to children in need, so every child has something to unwrap.

Our Mission

Too many children go without on birthdays and at Christmas because money is tight at home. We exist to change that.

We raise money and collect new toys through our partners, then get them to children through toy drives, giving days and the local services that already support families.

Every child deserves a present to open, whatever is going on at home.

Toy Drives

We run toy drives with our partners, collecting new toys from shops, schools, clubs and the public. Every toy is sorted by age so the right gift reaches the right child.

Holiday Gifting

At Christmas and through the year we hold giving days where children pick out a toy of their own, with volunteers on hand to help families.

Family Support

We pass toys to family shelters, foster carers, hospitals and support services, so children going through the hardest times still get something new that is theirs.

We reach children through the people who already look after them.

  • Family Shelters
  • Foster Carers
  • Children's Hospitals
  • Schools & Nurseries
  • Community Centres
  • Family Support Services

When a family doesn't have to find money for presents, it can go on food, heating and rent instead.

Help Us Reach More Kids

Our partners raise the money and toys that make all of this happen.
