We receive money donations via our just giving website, gifts via toy drop centres. We raise awareness via media, TV and our web site. We run toy sort days where volunteers sort and categorise the toys into type and age group. We work with social workers, drop in centres and schools to identify children in need of our help. In December we make up and distribute toy sacks in time for Christmas.
