Calico’s Toy chest has been launched to support children who have fled from Domestic Abuse. In our experience when a parent flees abuse, their children’s toys are often left behind, further impacting their security and emotional wellbeing. By providing a small selection of toys, we can help them rebuild their lives and provide entertainment and comfort.
To make a referral, please click the link and complete the form.
Referrals can be made by Teachers, Early Help, Children’s Services or a GP/Nurse. On receipt of this form we will arrange a parcel of toys that can be collected from St Mary’s Church, Newington or our office in Maidstone. We will email the parent with a voucher that must be shown on collection.
Our service is designed as a starting point and we anticipate a client will only access this once, however this can be reviewed at the Manager’s discretion.
