Toy Boxes

Imagine that you're eight years old and you watched Daddy hitting Mummy all the time. One night Mummy woke you up and you both left home with only the clothes you were wearing and a few personal possessions. You're now living with Mummy far away from Daddy, somewhere you don't know, with no friends and no toys to play with.

This is the situation faced by thousands of children every year in the UK. At a point in their lives where things seem really bad, KidsOut is here to help these kids.

Working with our partners DHL, Argos, Mothercare, ELC and 125 refuges across the UK, KidsOut sends special Toy Boxes to thousands of these children every year.

Each box is full of brand new toys, specific to the age and gender of the child. Every Toy Box contains games to play with, books to read, pictures to colour in and a soft toy to cuddle.

Each Toy Box gives children a sense of normality, making the world seem a kinder place where someone cares. It helps them to settle in and make new friends, as they can invite other kids home to play with their toys.

A KidsOut Toy Box can make a huge difference to the life of a child like this. To read some of the letters we have had from mums, click here

Each box costs just £100. Can you help us to buy even more? Click here to buy a Toy Box for a disadvantaged child.
