Toy Appeal
Added at 12:58 on 18 October 2025
The Rushcliffe Family Hub is once again running its annual Toy Appeal to support local families in need. We invite you to help make this Christmas special for children in our community by donating NEW, unwrapped toys.
Collection Point:
St Mary’s Church, Plumtree
(Open daily: 9:30am – 4:00pm)
Collection Dates:
Wednesday, October 15th – Monday, November 24th
What to Donate:
New, unwrapped toys for children aged 0–5
Gifts for older siblings up to early teens
How It Works:
Toys will be collected from St Mary’s on November 25th and taken to The Family Hub in Bingham to be sorted. On December 12th and 13th, nominated families will be invited to a specially decorated indoor Christmas Market, where they can choose gifts and receive free wrapping. For those unable to travel, Family Hub staff will deliver gifts directly to their homes.
Last Year’s Success:
With fantastic support from the Plumtree community, 120 children received gifts and books in 2024. Sadly, the number of children identified as needing help has increased this year.
Community Support:
We are delighted to have the backing of Plumtree School, Plumtree Parish Council, Wolds Day Nurseries, Plumtree WI, and worshippers at St Mary’s Church.
A festive donation box is located in the Children’s Corner at St Mary’s Church for your contributions.
Your generosity will help bring smiles and joy to local children this Christmas. Thank you for your continued support!
