I'm based at George's, I'm pretty sure we would very much welcome toys, but as a previous poster said, ones that are easy to disinfect with wipes and that would stand up to a deep clean...I will find out for you. I'm also pretty sure that KidsCompany would welcome toys for their playareas, and if they do, are a better option in a way that hospital as the children they reach out to are very poor and often neglected. The Salvation army would probably be happy for toys too, and women's shelters. Maybe not for Christmas, but for play at any time, and 'as good as new' toys at any time would make the day a kind of Christmas for them.
I think you have a wonderful family tradition, long may it continue, and what lucky kids you have to have such thoughtful and community-minded parents as role models!
