Oxfam and The Toy Library join forces for inclusive and sustainable play
We've joined forces with Oxfam Ireland to create a smarter, more sustainable donation network. Together, we're reducing waste, supporting Irish families, and ensuring every donated item finds its right home.
LEARN MOREOxfam Ireland are delighted to partner with The Toy Library, we are always looking for new ways to extend the life of things and make sure they find the right home. We were really encouraged by amazing work the team have done and as we can't always take toys in our donations, it's fantastic being able to point our customers in the right direction so those toys can be played with again.

Our Partnership in Action
Smart Toy Donations
At many Oxfam Shops, volunteers have had to turn away toy donations because certain locations cannot accept them. Under our new partnership, donors can still contribute meaningfully: They're guided to list toys on The Toy Library's free digital platform. No more rejected donations, no waste, and more toys finding loving homes.
Clothing Swap At Our Events
Building on the success of toy exchanges, and thanks to the Oxfam Ireland partnership, we'll soon be offering kids clothes at selected events. These Swap&Play's will feature a dedicated stand managed by Oxfam Ireland staff, providing expert guidance on sustainable practices and donation options.
The Change Starts From You
The Toy Library is where families come together to give and discover pre-loved toys in their local area. We believe in the power of play, sustainability, and community. Do you?
