Donating Toys and Games

If you're running out of space for outgrown toys, don't throw them away! Your unwanted toys or toy collection can be resold to help raise funds. Funds that support children and families to grow the future all over the world. You can help to reduce waste. And leave a cleaner environment for younger generations. You can use our shop finder to find your closest Oxfam shop.

The Gift Aid scheme for UK taxpayers can help Oxfam raise an extra 25% on the value of your donation by reclaiming government basic rate tax. You can help us get the most of your donation by signing up online, or in person when you donate.

Supercharge the impact of your donated items by 25% when you sign up for Gift Aid. It costs you nothing, yet further shifts power to communities as they lead positive change. By signing up for Gift Aid, you’re contributing to a kinder and fairer world – a world less divided by borders, money, race or gender.

If you can't easily travel to your nearest Oxfam store, you can use our donation bags to donate toys by post for free.

• Reuse one of your own bags and print off a postage label, or order one of our recycled donation bags online.
• Pack up the toys.
• Add your Gift Aid number.
• And drop them off at your local DPD drop off point.

You can include any of the items that Oxfam accepts with your donation.

Oxfam accepts a huge range of new and used toys:

• Rare and collectable toys, including vintage toys
• Soft stuffed toys
• Models, including vehicles and figures
• Trainsets and car sets
• Computer/video games
• Dolls, including ornamental and display dolls and figures
• Jigsaw puzzles
• Plastic, wood or metal toys
• Board games of all kinds
• Baby and preschool toys
• Creative and DIY craft kits
• Educational toys

Donating children’s toys has never been easier than it is with Oxfam GB. Simply put the toys in a bag or box and take them to your local Oxfam shop. You can also donate items by post for free. Remember to sign up to Gift Aid to raise an extra 25% at no cost to you!

We can't accept dirty or broken toys or toys with sharp edges. We ask that you wash soft toys in particular before donation, unless they're brand new. We also can't accept incomplete toys, like sets of board games or puzzles with missing pieces. These can't be resold.

Cleared out your outgrown toys and need to find something new to entertain little ones? We have a huge range of toys for sale in our shops, and online. Including cuddly soft toys and all kinds of games.
