Thank you for ToyLink

ToyLink 2024 supported more people struggling to make ends meet than ever. This Christmas 1,700 families were given gifts for their 4,000 children to help them through the festive season.

One referrer, the manager of a nursery, said:

‘We are based in an inner-city area of Birmingham where we have a lot of deprivation, poverty, substance abuse and gang-related issues. We support a lot of families that have fled their homes due to domestic violence, leaving all they possess behind. We support families that are in temporary accommodation that can be moved at any time. We as a staff team witness much sadness daily but try and support the best we can. Birmingham City Mission will make many of our children very happy to be able to open a present from Santa. We would like to take this opportunity to say a huge thank you for all your support, kindness and generosity. May God bless you.’

Thank you to everyone who gave their time, money and toys to make ToyLink happen. It is a massive project that would be impossible without hundreds of volunteers and donations. Below we have tried to name each local business that took part, but if you have been missed or are a school, church or individual, we thank you just the same!
