The Lord Mayor of Bristol’s Children’s Appeal is once again calling on local businesses to help bring festive cheer to children across the city, and this year’s response has already been incredible!
Each December, the Appeal runs its Christmas Toy Drive, a citywide initiative that invites workplaces to collect new toys, gifts, and donations for children who might otherwise go without.
A Growing Wave of Support
The 2025 Toy Drive is already gathering momentum, with lots of Bristol businesses joining the cause even before we head into November! A huge thank you to the brilliant organisations already on board:

How It Works
Taking part in the Toy Drive is simple and rewarding.
Step 1: Choose to take part
Step 2: We’ll provide your posters and collection box
Step 3: Collect toys, gifts, or donations in your workplace

As the Lord Mayor’s Appeal Chair Joy Simmonds said:
“Every year, we’re amazed by the generosity of Bristol’s business community. These donations aren’t just gifts, they’re messages of kindness and hope for children who really need to know that their city cares.”
Together, we can make Christmas brighter for Bristol’s children.
