The Toy Library is a small charity that has offered a toy borrowing service and a “Stay and Play” session for the last 30 years. It is run entirely by volunteers, serving young families in and around Ripon. We have trustees but no paid staff.
We hold weekly sessions at Ripon Community House where parents, grandparents, carers and their children can “Stay and Play” with our large range of stimulating and educational toys, and then borrow them to take home if they want to, for a small charge.
Some families struggle financially, and good new toys can be expensive for them to buy, so our toys can be tried out at home. Children learn such a lot through play and interacting with their parents. Our slogan is “Why buy when you can borrow.” In these tough financial times we provide a valuable service to our local families.
