Winter Toy Appeal 2019

Collecting NEW toys for children in poverty

THIS YEAR'S APPEAL IS NOW CLOSED TO FURTHER DONATIONS.

A HUGE THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO CONTRIBUTED

Please join the Local Buyers Club mailing list to keep updated...

For a sixth year running, we're collecting new toys for children experiencing extreme poverty in North London. 

​

The toys are distributed via a network of social workers, schools, children's centres, food banks, hostels and refuges to children in most need. They go to children who are expecting to go without while their peers excitedly talk about Christmas. They go to children of all faiths and all ages; to families in North London who are experiencing the toughest of times. 

​

We're also collecting non-perishable food for local food banks..

​

The appeal is run by the Local Buyers Club in partnership with Location Location estate agency and The Ivy Street Family Centre.

​

Please give what you can! Ideally we'd love you to shop local. If you order online, please deliver to Winter Toy Appeal, 18 Stoke Newington Church St, N16 0LU.

You can also shop via the Toy Appeal Wish List
