Basingstoke Christmas Toy Appeal 2026 Launches

The Community Furniture Project has officially launched the Basingstoke Christmas Toy Appeal 2026, with the campaign getting underway at an event attended by the Mayor of Basingstoke & Deane, Cllr Jacky Tustain.

The appeal is now collecting new, unwrapped gifts for children and young people whose families may struggle to afford presents this Christmas. Donations will help ensure local children and young people can experience the joy of Christmas morning.

Since the appeal began four years ago, community support has helped the project grow year after year. The first appeal supported 840 children, rising to 1,200 in year three. This year, organisers are aiming to reach 1,500 children across the local area.

New gifts for babies, children and young people up to the age of 19 can be donated at the Community Furniture Project shop at 6 Joule Road, Basingstoke, Tesco Chineham, The Newbury Building Society in Festival Place, and a range of other businesses and community groups across Basingstoke.

The Community Furniture Project is encouraging local residents, organisations and businesses to support the appeal and help make Christmas special for every child in the community.
