Each year people from across the industry, from manufacturers and retailers to licensors and suppliers, come together for a number of events to raise funds that will go to children’s causes across the UK and overseas.

The Toy Trust committee, that disburses the funds raised, is made up of a cross-section of industry representatives including manufacturers, retailers and licensors.

To ensure all the money raised goes to the children that need it, the Toy Trust is administered by the British Toy & Hobby Association, which covers all administration costs.

Christmas Card Initiative

Each year the Toy Trust invites companies to donate to its Christmas Card initiative.

The scheme gives BTHA members the opportunity to thank their customers through ads in the trade media rather than sending individual greetings cards.

This not only raises approximately £10,000 for the Toy Trust but is also environmentally friendly.
