We finally did it. Thanks to the support of our customers, we have finally hit our target of £100,000 donated to Toybox in ten years! We would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for their orders, no matter how big or small, as you have allowed us to support what is such an amazing cause. We receive regular reports from Toybox detailing the positive impacts made by these donations which you can read on our other blogs such as our most recent update.

For over 30 years, Toybox have been working alongside street children, first in Latin America and now in Asia and Africa. Their core purpose today remains consistent with the reason Toybox was created - to help children

Executive Summary:

In the past year, Guatemala City has witnessed a surge in organised crime and violence primarily stemming from gangs and drug trafficking. Consequently, nightwork and distributing food has been dangerous thus working in collaboration with other agencies to be safe. Political tensions have heightened since the presidential elections, with attempts to undermine the successful anti-corruption candidate Bernard Arevalo. October 2023 marked a significant period of unrest in the capital city, marked by widespread protests and roadblocks, disrupting daily life and posing substantial risks to children living or working on the streets. In response to this crisis, your generous support provided 150 hot meals for hungry children. Despite President Arevalo assuming office, the situation is tense and dangerous for our partner staff at night. We have observed an increase on the number of children on the streets drawn by the food offered by numerous local churches.
