Festive joy for children in refuge.
Festive joy for children in refuge.
Rotary Christmas Toy Boxes is an initiative to provide individual toy boxes to every child in every domestic abuse refuge across the UK and is part of the Rotary Children’s Fun Day activities.
The 2025 initiative raised over £97,000 which helped us deliver boxes of toys to over 3,200 children. Thank you for your amazing support.
Rotary Christmas Toy Boxes are made possible through the support of our valued partner, Kids in Mind.

In Rotary Magazine we took a look back at the impact of the campaign, rounding up some of the incredible work of volunteers who made it happen.
About the Rotary Christmas Toy Boxes
These are individual toy boxes which cost £30 each and will contain age and gender specific new toys up to an approximate value of £80.
These are for the children living in domestic abuse refuges across the UK at Christmas 2025.
The aim is to provide an individual Rotary Christmas Toy Box to every child in every domestic abuse refuge across the UK.
Please bear in mind that over Christmas refuges are generally full, with 15 to 20 children in each refuge, on average.
When you make a donation you will be asked if you want to direct your donation for Rotary Christmas Toy Box to a specific refuge. Please do not contact your local refuge about the project, as this may cause confusion.
Kids in Mind are Rotary GB&I’s supporting partner for the Rotary Christmas Toy Boxes, and are responsible for sourcing, packing and delivering the Toy Boxes.
If want to show your support for the Rotary Christmas Toy Boxes appeal, we have created a promotional pack to help, containing:
- Press release template (for use by Rotary Clubs only)
- Poster
- Social media graphics and posts
