Toy Offering

What is Toy Offering?

Every Christmas Renewal delivers Toy Offering as a way of supporting those at Christmas time who would otherwise have nothing to open on Christmas morning. We partner with organisations, charities and individuals who donate brand new toys, games, crafts and this year, the addition of a pyjama set for each child.

Social Services, Women’s Aid, local schools and other agencies as well as our own staff team refer families in need to the Toy Offering Appeal. When a referral is made, the name, age and gender of each child is recorded to ensure they get age appropriate toys.

If you would like to support any of our community projects, please do visit renewalcc.com/community to find out what else is happening!

Update!

Toy Offering 2023… That’s a wrap!

What a year 2023 was for our Toy Offering. We encountered God’s abundance in ways we hadn’t previously and despite societal pressures of cost of living, we provided toys to 240 families and over 450 children.

We gave out over 1500 toys and 80 gift cards, donated by some amazing local organisations, charities and groups. Due to the generosity of the Renewal congregation, local community organisations and corporate partners, children will have something to open on Christmas Day.

Some stories of families who received toys:

 

“Family of four children under the age of six. Dad has significant health concerns.Family live in a tower block and are on a low income.”

“Mum has no family support network and is a single parent and suffers from anxiety”

“Family are refugees and have lived in a local hotel for 18 months.”

“Mum has recently been diagnosed with cancer. There is a history of family breakdown and domestic abuse. There is also debt.”

 

We are hoping in the New Year to be able to share some stories of how the Toy Offering has impacted families.

 

You can help us prepare for next year!

Amazon Wish List

 

We would love to collect 500+ teddies for 500 children next year! Can you help? Please visit our Amazon Wish list for these to be delivered to Renewal Solihull in preparation for 2024.

You can give through our Amazon Wish List, which will be regularly updated and shuffled to ensure there are no age group gaps. This is the best way to see what we need and to get it delivered directly to Renewal Solihull. These toys will then get distributed across locations, to ensure the grotto is full of age appropriate toys.

Financial Gift

You can give financially through the giving tab. This enables us to shop at The Entertainer where we have an agreed 20% discount on all toys and gifts. This means your giving will go 20% further than if you were to purchase something – this means, we can buy even more toys! It will also mean that we have no gaps in provisions and every child will receive an equal amount.
