Charity Christmas Toy Appeal
Can you help us make Christmas a little brighter for local children?
This year our lovely roundspeople will be collecting toy donations for Alder Hey Children’s Hospital, Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital and Little Lights Liverpool, to spread some festive joy to those who need it most.
How to donate
Please be aware that all gifts must be new and unwrapped, with any packaging or labels included, and for health and safety reasons these organisations cannot accept handmade gifts such as knitted toys.
Many of the children at the hospitals and hospice we're supporting have complex needs, so sensory toys are particularly appreciated.
Suggested gift donations:
- Soothing, sensory and fidget toys (with sounds, light or texture)
- Rattle sets and teethers
- Stacking or sorting toys (eg. Stacking rings or cups)
- Soft toys and teddies
- Musical toys or toy instruments
- Books suitable for babies or young children
- Colouring and activity books
- Simple jigsaws or boardgames
If you leave your donations in the safe place where you usually receive your Creamline deliveries, your roundsperson will pick them up. If your donations are in a bag or box, please clearly label it with ‘Creamline charity Toy Appeal’.
We are accepting donations from November 1st all the way up to Monday 14th December, which will mean we can get the toys to the charities in time for Christmas.
