Christmas toy scheme


 

The pre-loved Christmas toy scheme is back!

For the third year running, Lisburn and Castlereagh City Council is excited to partner with Habitat for Humanity to help families in Lisburn and Castlereagh get quality affordable, sustainable toys for their children this Christmas.

Residents can donate their gently used, pre-loved toys that are no longer being played with to Habitat for Humanity through our dedicated drop-off points.
