The Tameside Toy Appeal is back for 2026!

Each year, local charity Action Together facilitates the annual Tameside Toy Appeal, and this year it’s back to support the families in need across Tameside for 2026.

For many of the families living in communities across Tameside, this Christmas will be tougher than ever. The pressure to choose between ‘heating or eating’ is a heartbreaking reality, and for some, the thought of gifts under the tree feels completely out of reach.

The annual Tameside Toy Appeal is returning for 2026 and your help is needed to reach those children living in poverty. Your donation could make a difference this Christmas. For full details, visit our Tameside Toy Appeal 2026 page.

Donations of new and unwrapped toys/gifts for children aged 0-18 are needed. The appeal will run from Monday, 9th November, 2026 until Friday, 11th December, 2026 (the last day on which donations can be accepted). People wishing to donate can drop-off their toy/gift at one of the dedicated drop-off locations across Tameside, you can find a full list here: https://www.actiontogether.org.uk/tameside-toy-appeal-2026

Every gift donated to the Tameside Toy Appeal will be given to a child in Tameside whose family is experiencing poverty. The appeal is working to ensure that disadvantaged children in Tameside wake up to something under their tree on Christmas morning.

Alternatively, anyone wishing to make a monetary donation can give directly to the JustGiving page, and the money raised will be used to purchase gifts for the categories of children where the least donations have been received.

The deadline to donate a toy/gift to one of the designated drop-off locations is Friday, 11th December 2026. The deadline to donate online to the JustGiving page will be Wednesday, 23rd December, 2026.
