Over 400 toys have been donated to two charities at the INDX Toys & Nursery show. Eighty of the show’s exhibitors donated a wide range of toys to support the work of a homeless and hospital charity.

Worcester Street Kitchen is a homeless charity that will be raffling off the toys to fund its work supporting and feeding those in need. Radio Cherwell − based at the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford − will use the toys to entertain and engage children receiving treatment.

Commenting is Rosie Marshall, Head of Toys and Children’s Gifts (AIS). “We were blown away by the generosity of our exhibitors and would like to thank them so much for their support. These toys will really make a difference in the local communities where they will be received. The donation will be split between Worcester Street Kitchen and Radio Cherwell.”
