Soft toys/teddy bears - accepted by charities?
 

Is there anywhere I can find a new home for these? Do any charities collect them to send away? Thanks.

I think the Irish Cancer Society take most things. I'm sure I've put a few teddies in their collection bag in the past. They have a collection in my area but they probably take walk in's if you have any charity shop local to you.

charity shops only keep couple most are dumped in bin.

As far as I know Crumlin Childrens' Hospital don't take them anymore - understandable of course. But a friend who was selling some at a boot sale last year found that people were interested in buying them as toys for their dogs!

Hi Where are you based as I collect them for a special olympic club that I volunteer with.

Thanks

Wow - I didn't know that about charity shops, it seems like such a shame. But like TickTock said a car boot sale sounds like a good idea & if you don't want to do that yourself loads of JTers will take them off your hands.

Hi Bing - I also have a bundle of teddies and soft toys, tried to sell them at car boots but little interest and very few charity shops round here anyway...I am in the Northwest but Dublin sometimes, where are you? Would be delighted to help A Special Olympics project!

Hi

I was just checking out soft toys and came across your thread which was posted some time ago. If you have any soft toys I would gladely collect them. Sorry for not getting back to you befor now but I had S.O. national games and was then away. Only now checking out different threads. I do collect soft teddies for our club and any special needs charity. Tks
