Delivering Toys, Essential Support, and Unforgettable Smiles to Children

About Us

Toy Rescue was established to rescue and subsequently give a new lease of life to old toys. By doing so, we aim to bring joy to underprivileged children both in the UK as well as abroad through the provision of toys and other related resources.

Our Mission

At Toy Rescue, we believe that every child, regardless of their circumstances, deserves the tools to play, learn, and grow. Play is not a luxury; it is a fundamental right and a powerful pathway to healthy physical, cognitive, and social development.

The Power of Play and Learning

At Toy Rescue, we believe that every child, regardless of their circumstances, deserves the tools to play, learn, and grow. 
Play is not a luxury; it is a fundamental right and a powerful pathway to healthy physical, cognitive, and social development.

Why Toy Rescue Exists

In many environments—from busy hospitals and temporary shelters to under-resourced schools—children lack access to engaging, high-quality resources. This gap can hinder their development and deny them the comfort and stability that toys and educational materials provide. We exist to close that gap.

Toy Rescue was established to directly relieve the needs of vulnerable children by the provision of essential resources.

What We Do:

Rescue, Refurbish, and Deliver

Our process is centered on ensuring that these vital items reach the children who need them most:

Sourcing:

We partner with manufacturers, retailers, and community members to secure donations of new and gently used toys and educational supplies.
Sanitizing & Curating: Every item undergoes a meticulous process of cleaning and inspection to ensure it is safe, durable, and appropriate for its recipient.
Targeted Provision: We strategically distribute these items to facilities dedicated to children’s well-being and education. This includes providing such items to schools, hospitals, community centers, and child care facilities to directly support their education, care, and health.
Our Impact: More Than Just Toys
When you support Toy Rescue, you are providing more than just an object—you are investing in a child’s future.

In Hospitals

Toys offer distraction, comfort, and therapeutic engagement, helping children cope with difficult medical procedures and long recovery times.

In Schools

 Educational resources equip teachers with the tools necessary to foster early literacy, critical thinking, and social-emotional
skills.

In Shelters

 We help create a sense of normalcy and stability, giving children a much-needed outlet for expression during periods of transition or crisis.

We’re not just rescuing toys; we’re rescuing opportunities, fostering joy, and helping build brighter futures, one resource at a time.
