Could you help us with our Family Fun Day? 🧸

We’re looking for good quality, pre-loved cuddly toys for our Family Fun Day at Helmsley Walled Garden.

If you’ve got any unwanted teddies or soft toys in clean, good condition, we’d love to give them a new home. It’s the perfect excuse for a little sort out!

The cuddly toys will be given out to children during the fun day, bringing lots of smiles while giving your old favourites a second life.

If you’d like to donate, please drop them off at The Vinehouse Café, Helmsley Walled Garden.

Thank you so much for your kindness and support – it really does make a difference. ❤️

Last donations by Sunday 23rd August!!! Thankyou x
