The Christmas Toy Workshop

Join us for a festive volunteering session supporting The Lord Mayor of Bristol’s Christmas Children’s Appeal and its annual Toy Drive.

We will be sorting and wrapping donated toys ready to be given to children across Bristol this Christmas. It’s a lovely opportunity to get together with colleagues, give a little time to a good cause and help bring some Christmas joy to local children.

You can join us for an hour over your lunch break or make a day of it using your corporate volunteering day. Mince pies and Christmas music will keep us in the festive spirit.

The volunteering sessions will run across three days, from 9–12 December, with a choice of time slots each day:

• 12pm–1pm

• 1pm–2pm

• 12pm–4pm

Please note your end time when booking your tickets as there are two 12:00 session, one lasting for 1 hour and the other for four hours.

A little help with supplies would be appreciated, please bring a pair of scissors, sellotape and wrapping paper.

Whether you can spare an hour or the afternoon, every pair of hands will help make a difference.

Let’s spread a little Christmas joy across Bristol, one present at a time.

About the Lord Mayor of Bristol’s Children’s Appeal

For almost 100 years, the Lord Mayor of Bristol’s Children’s Appeal has supported children and families in need across our city. Every December, they ensure that hundreds of local children who might otherwise go without, receive a Christmas gift, with every donation staying right here in Bristol.

This year, around 4,000 toys are being donated by Bristol businesses, all of which need to be checked, organised, and prepared for distribution. Volunteers are essential to making this happen, helping to bring festive joy to children across the city.
