DONATE TOYS AND GAMES TO SAVE LIVES
If you have unwanted toys and games gathering dust, they could help raise vital funds for The Air Ambulance Service. By donating fully working and complete toys, board games, jigsaws, and electronics, you support our shops and online sales—helping keep our helicopters flying, critical care cars on the road, and our teams reaching those in urgent need.
Across Your Local and Children’s Air Ambulance services, we have over 50 stores ready to accept your quality games and toys. Simply pop in and speak to a friendly team member, or drop off your donations at one of our Superstore donation stations.

WHAT HAPPENS TO DONATED TOYS?
When you donate toys to us, each item is carefully assessed for condition, and electronics are PAT tested for safety. Usable toys are then sold in our physical stores or listed on our eBay shop.
The funds raised from these sales directly support our lifesaving missions, both locally through our HEMS service and nationally via the Children’s Air Ambulance.
With each mission costing £2,300 for the local air ambulance and £5,500 for the Children’s Air Ambulance, your toy donations make a real difference in reaching more patients.

Did you know: charities pay to dispose of unsellable items
WHAT TOYS ARE NOT ACCEPTED AS DONATIONS?
Please ensure toys and games are complete, clean, and in good working order before donating. Soft toys must have a CE label.
Broken or unsafe toys cannot be accepted as they cannot be resold.
