My son has a load of used toys that we intend to donate to a good cause.
Obviously they will be cleaned etc etc.

How do we go about donating them.  do we just pitch up at the childrens ward at the hospital or does anyone on here know of other worthy causes.

the suitablility of the toys range from 4 - 8 year olds


The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'

I think the hospital are all new toys - bought through donations not 100% though, this was how did it 3 years ago when my niece was in hospital.

St Andrews childrens hospice will take them:

Cheers for the above. I was hoping that some of the toys could be given directly to a hospice, hospital etc.
I would like my son to actually experience the pleasure of seeing the good that they do. And to see how some children are a lot worse off than others.
However, I guess under health and safety etc etc only new stuff can actually be given direct.

Looks like my lad will be donating more toys than he intended then
