About The Toy Trust
The Toy Trust is a grant-making trust that was founded in 1990 by The British Toy & Hobby Association (BTHA). It is designed to help disadvantaged children and their familes in the UK and abroad.
Many well known toy industry figures regularly organise events to help raise money - marathon cycling trips, walks, celebrity football matches and auctions at charity dinners are just a few of the ways in which the money is raised.
The Toy Trust has raised nearly £3M since it's creation which has helped to make a real difference to many families in difficult circumstances. All money raised goes straight to children’s causes as all costs (including administration costs) are absorbed by the BTHA. The committee charged with distributing the money meets every other month to ensure a constant flow of awards to those kids in the greatest need.

Previous Toy Trust Challenges: Andrew Brown Rows the Atlantic
On 4th December 2011, Andrew Brown from Flair started to row a staggering 2,936 miles across the Atlantic Ocean to try to raise over £80,000 for the charity. He finished on 21st January 2012 and earned himself the title of the fastest solo transatlantic rower in the process. He was also presented with a Special Recognition Award from the Toy Trust for his amazing achievement.

Previous Toy Trust Event: GOSH FUNdraiser
On Saturday 11th June 2011, the Toy Trust held a pentathlon at the Rutland Water Nature Reserve in Oakham that raised over £98,000. This fundraising event was attended by many toy suppliers including Spin Master, Hasbro and Vivid Imaginations. The money was raised to help revamp five play therapy units at Great Ormond Street Children's Hospital.
