My wife has loads of soft toys that are in excellent condition which she wants to give away due to the lack of space and I suggested that the Childrens Hospital may take them to put a smile on a small persons face when in hospital.

Does anyone know if that is the case and if they accept these kinds of donations and also a phone number I can call to arrange me dropping of the toys if they would like them.

Why not sell them at a car boot sale and send the money to one of the hospital charities instead?

Or you could give them away on Freecycle http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Sheffield-FreeCycle/

I'm sure there would be plenty of happy recipients!

There is a receptacle for cuddly toys at Crystal Peaks near the indoor market (or there was last time I looked in that direction). Not sure which charity it is for though.

Thanks, they are not in the original boxes so I will probably have to take them to the charity shop instead.

Don t know if you re interested but last season at Sheffield Steelers , we did a "teddy bear toss" for Amy s house which I believe is a respite facility for children with learning difficulties in Handsworth. They needed soft toys . Perhaps if you got in touch with them ? Sorry I dont have any contacts as it was quite a while ago.
