Toy Appeal

Give a Little, Make Christmas Big 🎁

This Christmas, we’re teaming up with Southampton City Council for our Toy Appeal, and we’d love you to be part of it. 🎄

📅 From 12 November to 22 December, head to Level 3, next to Auntie Anne’s. 🏷️ Pick up a gift tag, choose a present, then leave it unwrapped in our donation box.

🧸 Not sure where to start? LEGO, Build-A-Bear Workshop, Smiggle and Waterstones are all here, so you can find the perfect gift and drop it off in the same visit.

Donation guidelines 📋

We are incredibly grateful for every gift donated to this year’s Toy Appeal. Your generosity helps us make Christmas special for children and young people across Southampton.

To help us make sure that every gift can be safely passed on, please follow these few simple guidelines:

• Please leave gifts unwrapped. This is really important, as our team needs to be able to see each gift and make sure it is suitable for the child receiving it.
• Please don’t donate sweets, chocolate, food or other consumable items. We cannot always be certain about children’s allergies or dietary requirements, so unfortunately we are unable to distribute these.
• Please avoid toy weapons or anything that could be seen as a weapon, including play knives, guns or similar items.
• Please check clothing and other items for slogans, images or messages. We cannot distribute items containing explicit, offensive or inappropriate language or imagery.

If you’re not sure what to choose, think new, safe, age-appropriate and unwrapped.

Thank you for helping us make the Toy Appeal safe, inclusive and special for every child. Every gift makes a difference.
