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.
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.
Pick whichever way works best for you. One toy, a small donation or a hand spreading the word — it all helps.
Buy a brand-new toy or present for a child of any age. Please gift-wrap it and attach a label with the suggested age and whether it's intended for a boy, girl or either.
Order a toy or gift online, using one of the gift suggestions below or something of your own choice, and arrange delivery to our collection point.
Prefer to leave the shopping to us? Donate whatever you can afford and we'll buy, wrap and organise presents on your behalf. Even £5 makes a difference.
That gives us time to sort the presents and get everything ready for the Toy Run.
Want to buy a Christmas present for the Toy Run? Here are some suggestions for different ages. Click a toy to find it on Amazon. Prices shown are a guide from our original list and may have changed.
Please choose new, suitable gifts and have them sent to our collection address once announced. You can also buy something completely different!
* For soft toys, check the specific item’s current safety label and age suitability before purchasing.
The Toy Run wouldn't be quite the same without the scooters. Club members, friends and supporters are welcome to join us. We'll meet, have a chat, then head off with the presents to our two destinations.
You can take part in the ride or simply pop along to see everyone off.
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 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.
