Please enter £15 in the payment box below. If you pay UK tax, tick Gift Aid and we can claim an extra 25% at no cost to you.
Our pupils and parents began collecting for children in foster care in Harrow and Hillingdon. Social workers then asked if we could help children from families going through a hard time, and children visiting food banks over Christmas. The table became a hall.
Last year every child in care in Harrow wrote a letter to Santa, and donations went on the presents they asked for.
We need gifts for babies right up to teenagers. Please give new things in their original packaging, and leave them unwrapped so we can match each one to a child's letter.
Saturday 5 December at Shaftesbury High School. Doors open before 10am and the assembly starts at 10am sharp.
Email info@saischool.com and we'll send you an address for deliveries.
Give online or by bank transfer and our volunteers will do the shopping from the children's letters.
Send any amount with the reference Toy Appeal and it goes straight into the toy fund. Volunteers spend it on presents from the children's letters.
If you pay UK tax, you can add Gift Aid to your transfer afterwards. Sai School of Harrow is registered charity 1089487.
Every gift goes to a child through people who know them: social workers, hospital play teams, schools and food banks.
Pupils lead an assembly on giving, kindness and community, then the toys are counted and packed. Families, friends and neighbours are all welcome.
On new toys and gifts for the children on the lists we receive from social workers, hospitals and food banks. Volunteers do the shopping, so nothing is spent on wages.

No. Just arrive before 10am so you don't miss the start.
