Birthright toy drive

Charlotte Evers from Playhouse Challenge

More than 2,000 toys and books for children aged 0-17 years are distributed each year by Birthright Canterbury to its client families. This is thanks to the generous donations from our supporters and from the public.

This year, we would like to ask for your support to donate age appropriate toys, puzzles, games and books for children aged 10-17 years old (boys and girls). Donations (in kind or money) can be dropped off at our office at 301 Tuam Street, Christchurch. For more information, please ring 022 043 5006 or email manager@birthrightchch.org.nz.
Help us put smiles on children's faces.
