TOYS FOR JOY AT CHRISTMAS

 ‘Toys For Joy’ is our annual Christmas campaign, gifting new toys and bringing joy to local families in crisis or financial difficulty. Every year, CARE provides up to 900 children with toys and joy. Professionals in our community - teachers and social workers - are invited to apply on behalf of families in their care and can choose three toys for each child, according to their age and what they would love the most.

“I really do not know how to thank you. This year has been the worst, things have been really hard. I was dreading it, and this help will really make our Christmas now. A weight has been lifted, it will be a happy time instead of a worrying time.”

What to Donate:

New and unwrapped toys, games, and gifts for all age group

How to Donate:

You can drop off toys at The CARE Shop and The CARE Hub or make a financial donation from JustGiving or Amazon Wishlist

When to donate:

Our 2026 ‘Toys For Joy’ Christmas campaign will start in the Autumn and culminate on 24 December 2026

Please check in for more detailed information in October 2026.

“You have made my Christmas for my granddaughter and grandson. My mental health is at a height of confusion and this has lifted my spirits knowing my grandchildren will get gifts from their Nana. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.”
