Donations In Kind

We are always delighted to receive gifts for our children, but unfortunately there are some items that we cannot accept due to concerns about infection, Health and Safety, and restrictive storage space.

To help you, we have put together a list of things that our children enjoy using and playing with and what we can't use. Please only use this as a guide, if your item does not fall within the ‘enjoy' list it does not mean that the children wouldn't use it. If you have any queries then please call the fundraising department on 0121333 8503.

Tips for donating gifts:

Don't forget the age group you're donating to is 0 - 18 years - teenagers are often forgotten
   
If you donate chocolate or sweets, please make sure that they are wrapped and the ingredients are on the packet (we have to be careful with allergies)
