Section D Achievements and erformance p
Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year
Chiltern Toy Bank provided Christmas gift packs comprising soft toys, age-appropriate toys, games, books, jigsaws, stocking fillers, including necessary items such as shower gel and toothpaste to approximately 220 families in the Chiltern area. This equated to over 500 local children.
We had a huge influx of toys from local residents as well as collections by local schools. This meant that we were also able to pass on some of the extra toys to a Food Bank in the nearby town of Aylesbury. These toys were given to struggling families there when they collected their food parcels.
Some of the larger items, which are too large to gift to families and other items such as excess books and toys were donated to local schools, playgroups and nurseries.
