Help Us
WE RELY ON YOU
We cater for around 2,300 children through our projects each year at a cost of around £10,000. We have no paid staff and rely on donations, fundraising and the help of our incredible volunteers and supporters to run these projects.
Your support and donations ensure that we can provide lifelong memories to families through our Christmas events, promote education and families / communities through the distribution of our Banana Boxes and Lego and tabletop games events. We also provide a safe space for those who have children living with neurodiversity to come along, meet, play, make friends and network in a non-judgemental environment. None of this would be possible without your help.
Would you like to run a cake stall or car boot sale to raise funds? Do you have any new or pre-loved toys to donate? Are you interested in helping out with some of our projects? If you are interested in helping our charity then please contact us – we’d love to hear from you!

We need volunteers to help:
- Collect, check and clean donated toys
- Bake treats for our fundraising events
- Assist in organising and running parties
- Arrange fundraising events

OUR SUPPORTERS
We also work with a number of organisations who support our charitable aims from providing convenient drop off locations for donated toys to providing resources and funding to support children with special education needs and disabilities. We welcome any offers of corporate support, please contract us if your business can help.
