Our Chairman George is going to complete the Manchester Half Marathon in October for the Toy House!! Training for the 20k distance alongside his tireless duties for our charity.

The Toy House is a user led organisation that was established in 1981 by parents of children with learning disabilities to provide peer to peer support, advice and information not available elsewhere. We are a now a community hub providing, person centred, holistic advice, information, and support to residents in Urmston/Flixton and beyond. We have three paid workers, one full-time and two part-time who use their extensive expertise, skills, and knowledge to support our visitors. Our paid staff are supported by a team of 40 volunteers, many of whom are users of the Toy House and our board of 10 trustees. We rely of grants and fundraising to keep things going – on the 13th October 2024 our chair, George Devlin, is running in the Manchester Half Marathon to help us raise much needed finds to keep us going – it would be great if you can make a donation to help.
