“When I saw on Facebook your plans to upcycle old toys and play equipment I thought it was a fantastic idea – so good environmentally and reducing waste. I applied to adopt a Peppa Pig dressing table and I immediately thought of one of our Mums at Howbury Tumblers who has a young daughter.

“We know she is struggling as a lone parent – we have tried to support her financially by letting her come to Howbury Tumblers for free but she sometimes can’t even raise the bus fare to attend. I know Christmas can be hard – so I applied for the item and duly collected it. I also donated an old unloved toy kitchen to pass on to someone else.

“We have sensitively spoken to the Mum who was delighted with the idea. We are going to deliver the Peppa Pig dressing table to her before Christmas and we have ordered a play dressing table set to go with it. Her little one loves Peppa Pig so I’m sure this will be a treasured item – and reduce stress for the Mum in the very hard times we are all going through (but some worse than others). Thank you for this opportunity to work in partnership with you and pass on the joy to those most in need.”
