Christmas
Toy Run
2026

A little present can make a big difference.

Every year, in the first week of December, we collect Christmas presents for local children and families who could do with a little extra cheer.

We deliver the gifts to Peterborough City Hospital and Little Miracles. You don't need to own a scooter to help — just a bit of Christmas kindness.

Donations close Tuesday 1 December 2026.

What it's all about

Why we do the Toy Run

For most of us, Christmas means family, a bit of time off and watching children open their presents. But for some families, Christmas looks rather different.

Having a child in hospital, or supporting a child through a difficult time, can bring a lot of worry. Finding time to shop for Christmas presents might understandably be the last thing on anyone's mind.

So we do something simple: collect new toys and gifts, organise them and deliver them to local organisations who can pass them on.

Three easy ways to join in

How can you help?

Pick whichever way works best for you. One toy, a small donation or a hand spreading the word — it all helps.

Scooters, presents and good company

Our Toy Run in pictures

We've been doing this for years, thanks to the club, friends, families and local supporters. We're collecting a few of our favourite pictures from past Toy Runs. If you've got a good one, please send it to the club organiser!

Thank you

Thank you to everyone who donates a toy, gives a few pounds, comes along for the ride or helps spread the word. You don't have to spend a fortune, and you don't have to be a scooter rider.

It's just local people doing something nice for other local people at Christmas.
