What to do with used soft toys?

[BikeChick]

I have a bin bag full of them...in good condition.

Does anyone know of anywhere I can recycle or donate?

Thanks!

I recently donated packets of nappies to Southwark Day Centre. I'm sure they'd be happy to receive your donation of toys.

charity shops. Children's hospital at Kings.

Charity shops are inundated with soft toys.

Hospitals will only take those which can be washed in machine due to infection control.

A refugee or asylum centre would be best.

Hospitals won't take soft toys, only toys which can be wiped clean.

Animal rescue places might take them. Celia Hammond, Battersea etc. Some animals can play nicely with stuffed animals and not rip them to shreds.

Have you thought about the women's shelters, often when women and children are re located they have very little with them.

Maybe try The Small Project: http://www.thesmallproject.org.uk or Little Village: https://littlevillagehq.org - if you can machine-wash them first that would probably be helpful.
