LEGO! Who loves Lego? Exactly. Everyone. It is our most asked for toy and we are very lucky with the support of your donations, @inkinddirect and our @amazon wish list. Because of these we are able to provide LEGO to everyone. As lots of you know we run FREE Lego workshops and therapy sessions for children with social communication needs on Saturday mornings. Workshops 10.30-12.30
Therapy 1.00-2.00
We have provided Lego to families in need, to schools, to hospitals and to children in India. Here’s Nick, deputy head at St John’s Primary, Archway picking up three boxes for their Lego based therapy session with children with autism.
If you have Lego to donate we’d be very very grateful - if you haven’t you could visit our amazon wish list and send some over.
Thank you in advance for continuing to support us. #legolegotherapy #legobasedtherapy #legobasedlearning #legoland

If your child has been in hospital you’ll know what an amazing job the play workers do to distract and entertain your children during those very long days when they’re not feeling their best. Thanks to @playinnhs @inkinddirect @sylvanianfamilies_uk @3stylescooters we have donated thousands of toys over the past seven years to many hospitals including @nhshomerton @royalfreelondonnhs @bhrut_nhs #whittingtonhospital #UCH #playinhospital #play #donate #give #toys Here’s a little girl playing with some of the toys we donated last week to Abbi/ @playinnhs for the children in her ward at @bhrut_nhs

September and October is our busiest time for getting requests for toys/resources for schools as the teachers start setting up their new classrooms. It’s an exciting time for the children and teachers as ‘new’ and fresh toys in the classroom are all part of the excitement of returning to school. Here are some of the children in Libby’s classroom in Hornsey discovering all the dressing up clothes we gave them. None of this would be possible without the fabulous support of all of you that donate regularly to us. We are open for donations and look forward to welcoming you all as you drop your donations in at our shop at 81 Junction Road, N195QX

Puppets play such a fabulous role in education and

Puppets play such a fabulous role in education and we always encourage teachers to take hand puppets, finger puppets and puppet theatres in to their classrooms. We have a constant ask out for donation of puppets as the demand is so high. Last year we ran puppet workshops in 8 schools in Grenada and took over 100 puppets with us. Here are some of the puppets we donated to St Mary’s CE school in Hornsey for teacher Ryan to use with his children. Please keep your puppet and puppet theatre donations coming! #donate #donations #puppets #puppettheatre #puppetshow #puppetsineducation #donatepuppets #recycle #reuse #landfill #puppetsinschool

Having received our £10,000 covid response funding from the @tnlcommunityfund to provide toy/food boxes for those in need we have shopped locally with @map_gift_shop to ensure children have creative toys to build and share at home. We have funding to provide a further 150 boxes to children living in difficult situations. If your organisation has families that could do with some extra support with child friendly, healthy food boxes with toys and books please email for a referral form. We continue to provide for families during this extremely difficult time. If you’d like to contribute please donate via our website. #shoplocal #archwaylondon #supportsmallbusiness #supportlocal #supportlocalbusiness #foidbank #foodparcels #donate #reuse #recycle #reducereuserecycle #lottery #lotteryplayers #healthyfood #childrensfood #childrenlivinginpoverty #islington #london #covidresponse #Covid-19 @ianmapgiftshop @tnlcommunityfund
