Toys 4 Birmingham
Thrive Together Birmingham is again joining forces with the Warwickshire Cricket Foundation, Birmingham Play Care 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 Birmingham this year.
Last year the organisations worked together with residents, organisations, and businesses from across the city to collect over 14,000 toys and gifts via a donation centre at Edgbaston Stadium, for those who could not afford them. This year even more families have been driven into hard times and so we are asking if the people of Birmingham would once again dig deep to help.
People are asked to work with neighbours and colleagues to safely collect and deliver gifts to Edgbaston Stadium.
Drop your toys and gifts off at: Edgbaston Stadium, Edgbaston Road, B5 7QU on:
- Friday 5th December , 10am – 2pm
- Saturday 6th December, 10am – 1pm
- Monday 8th December, 10am – 1pm
Or by arrangement until Tuesday 16th December – contact:
Louise on 07469 979286 or
Esther on 07391 016082
