🧸 Toy donations needed again 🧸
Last summer we asked for toy donations and you completely came through for us — thank you. A year on, the toy side of the shop has grown in size and popularity, a real resource that families to rely on. But demand keeps outpacing our stock, so we're asking again 💛
Why donate your toys to us?
❤️ We're a not-for-profit CIC based in Exeter
♻️ We sort every last toy, broken toy and stray part — and we keep EVERYTHING
🧩 Loose parts are saved in boxes for weeks, sometimes months, until we've enough to build new sets
🎁 Every set is cleaned, made up and packaged by hand
🔎 We hold onto common lost pieces, waiting to reunite a set that's missing just one
💷 Everything sells for £1, so every family can afford to buy toys
🔄 We encourage people to re-donate once their kids are done, so we can all keep going without buying expensive new
🕊️ Short on time or energy to sort? Don't worry — just pile it into a box or bag and drop it off. We'll take it from there. We can help unload or bring the trolley out to the car park
