We need your help to buy toys and sensory equipment
Our toy lending library has been a big part of Allsorts since we started fifteen years ago. Members can borrow specialist toys to help their disabled children play, learn and develop.
Our shelves are running low and we need your help. Specialist equipment and sensory toys are expensive and often need replacing due to demand.
Together, we can unwrap a world of play this festive season.

Why toys are so important to our Members…
Toys play a crucial role in the development of all children, but for children with disabilities, they are especially significant. Toys provide children with opportunities to develop their motor skills, cognitive abilities, language development, and those important social skills such as sharing, turn-taking, and cooperation.
“Allsorts is a popular place, so some of the toys are already on loan. We have to wait quite a while until a toy becomes available.”
For many families, the Toy Library is more than just a source of toys – it’s a lifeline. Many of these items are expensive to purchase, so we offer a practical solution by loaning items on a short or long-term basis. This unique service allows families to try out toys and equipment before making any big purchases.
“These aren’t toys you find in typical shops. They’re specially made for children with special needs and they’re very expensive – a lot of us parents can’t afford them.”
Donate and spread the word about our Christmas Appeal today! Without essential new items we’ll be very limited in what we can offer families needing support.
Thank you so much for your support.
