In this update: 

1. A report on the first few months of No Toy Left Behind

2. Volunteering opportunities in January and February (WE NEED YOU!)

 Hello No Toy Left Behind Supporter!

We were busy busy bees at the start of December - and if you came to see us I think you'll agree the room looked great.

Many thanks to the wonderful team at Pippins Community Centre for all their help and support and the friends and family who took the time to help us with furniture, cleaning, sorting and arranging everything to ensure we were ready for our pre-Christmas shopping days.

Thank you to everyone who came to say hi, to encourage us and to everyone who found something to buy!

We've come so far since a scribbled idea in a notebook 12 months ago....

....but the hard work doesn't stop here!!

This month we will continue receiving toy donations and will be working to get all our donations Shelf Ready for our official launch date in mid February (date TBC - keep an eye on our website and social media). 

Would you like to help us with our mission to make it easy for people to love preloved toys?

We need volunteers!!

We have an enormous pile of games and puzzles that need checking and donations that need cleaning so that they are ready to be loved again. So.... through January and February we will be hosting volunteering afternoons on Fridays and Saturdays!

Please let us know by filling in this form if you could come along to Pippins Community Centre on a Friday or Saturday afternoon (for any amount of time) to help us get on top of the amazing volume of donations we have received.  We will aim to keep the space as safe as possible for our volunteers and visitors so we'll follow government guidelines, keep the window open and ask you to please wear a mask and sanitise your hands on arrival and before leaving. 

If you don't have time to help on a Friday or Saturday, but would still like to volunteer,  you can still help! Let us know if you'd rather clean some toys or check jigsaws or board games and we'll put together a small bundle for you to take home - you'll just need to swing by Pippins to collect and then drop it off when you're done and we'll be so grateful! 

Also please spread the word by telling your friends/neighbours/schools about No Toy Left Behind!
