Drogheda Life | Enable Ireland Charity Shop seeks donations of pre loved toys for Christmas

Must read

“The toys they donate may bring some magic to another child’s Christmas and funds raised will support Enable Ireland services.”

Drogheda’s Enable Ireland Charity Shop is urging the public to donate preloved or as-new toys to support vital disability services ahead of Christmas

The Enable Ireland Charity Shop at 32 Shop Street, has launched an appeal for families to think ahead and donate preloved toys to their shop before Christmas. They are asking parents, grandparents, and guardians to consider what toys their children no longer play with or have never played with.

If they are in good condition, the Drogheda Enable Ireland Charity Shop is keen to accept them. This gives the shop a chance to find the preloved toys a happy new home for Christmas while raising funds to support Enable Ireland’s vital disability services.

The appeal has been launched by the charity shop which receives an influx of children’s toys after Christmas when old toys are cleared out. However, many parents who may be on a tighter budget will visit looking for toys for their little ones for Christmas.

By donating toys, rather than discarding them, parents can ensure the toys are put to good use and reduce wastage.

“Going through your children’s toys with them before Christmas is a great opportunity to teach them the importance of sustainability, reducing waste and helping charities” said Oonagh O’Connor of Enable Ireland.

“The toys they donate may bring some magic to another child’s Christmas and funds raised will support Enable Ireland services.”

100% of the profits from the Drogheda Enable Ireland Charity Shop support Enable Ireland disability services which benefit 13,000 children and adults in Ireland. All donations that are not resold or recycled, are further recycled or repurposed by Enable Ireland’s recycling partners.

The Drogheda shop is accepting donations of quality preloved toys at their shop on 32 Shop Street. Enable Ireland also loves to accept donations of clean, good-quality clothes, shoes, handbags, and accessories.

They accept towels, linens, homeware, glassware, collectables, books, and unwanted gifts too. Unfortunately, the charity cannot accept donations of electrical items, dirty or soiled items, or broken items. This is due to the high cost of disposal.
