Have you seen the Borrow Bags and Boxes The Toby Henderson Trust ❓

Have you seen the Borrow Bags and Boxes The Toby Henderson Trust ❓

Have you heard about our Borrow Bags and Boxes Scheme?🧰🌟

This scheme is an opportunity for families to borrow equipment from us for free and all we ask for is a £5 deposit (refundable on return). This has been made possible thanks to grants and donations. You might see that some of our boxes have names of some incredible people who've fundraised for us which has allowed us to fund the equipment in each box!

How does it work?
🌟 The boxes are lent out for a four week period which begins once an item has been collected. One item can be borrowed at a time and can be collected from Toby House, Bedlington. Items can also be picked up from the HUB in South Shields with prior arrangement. Please visit our website for further details and to view the items which are available to hire: https://www.ttht.co.uk/borrow-boxes/.

🌟 This is a fantastic opportunity to find out which toys or equipment your child likes to play with, a bit like try before you decide to buy! We have also recently added ear defenders to the list so you can see if they help, before purchasing a pair.

✉ If you would like to find out more or enquire about borrowing any of items, then please email us at admin@ttht.co.uk.
