Toys4Birmingham

In 2023, thanks to very generous donations from individuals, families, churches, schools, universities, workplaces and organisations, Toys4Birmingham was able to collect and distribute more than 15,000 news toys and gifts to those who could not afford them. This year, even more families have been driven into hardship and the need for Toys4Birmingham will be greater. Therefore, Toys4Birmingham is once more asking for help and support.

Toys4Birmingham is an initiative of ‘Thrive Together Birmingham’ in conjunction with the Warwickshire Cricket Foundation, Birmingham PlayCare Network and Birmingham Mail, in response to a plea from Birmingham’s Children’s Centres to help collect gifts to keep Christmas special for some of the most vulnerable children and young people in the city.

New, unwrapped toys and gifts can be dropped off at Edgbaston Stadium, Edgbaston Road, Birmingham B5 7QU:

  • Between 10.00am and 3.00pm on Friday 6 December
  • Between 10.00am and 1.00pm on Saturday 7 December
  • Between 10.00am and 1.00pm on Monday 9 December

Alternatively, toys can by delivered by arrangement with Louise until Monday 16 December. You must phone 07469 979286 to arrange this option.

Please note that no used toys can be accepted. Only new, unwrapped toys and gifts are acceptable. Find more information at https://thrivetogetherbham.org/initiatives/toys.
